    That's why it's good to add a default half an hour of testing time and another half an hour just to make sure clients don't pull this sort of crap.

    I just tell them to make a txt file with all the "small" changes so i at least read them at once.

    @iranjith4 How profitable it is to be ios dev in India? Bcos I plan to move to UK as soon as I get my Bachelors, I am from Poland and Juniors get around $800-1200 per month which is shitty pay I think.

    Either you go on with this kind of workflow with your client or force them into Agile.

    @peterzig I guess it's okay. If you work in a good company along with a bit of freelancing, you could earn close to $2500 per month. It's quite good for Cost of Living at metro cities. All depends upon the client you choose 😁

    @peterzig 1200 is not a shitty pay compared to how cheap Poland is. As a junior consultant in Belgium you'd get around +/-1900euro and a car. When you're not in consulting, +/-2300euro without a car. But everything costs AT LEAST twice as much here.

    @JerreMuesli Yeah if you live in a dorm which is €100 per month with gigabit Internet and dirty toilets and showers you can live but I don't want to be student my whole life haha. In UK mid gets £60-70k per year which is great
