- Get into FAANG
- Get into HFT/banks/fintech
- Move to UK/US

UK is a dumpster fire. I live here...

I mean, better than America, but only marginally at the moment...

Salary in uk is 20k a year and america is a failed society

@UnicornPoo

- Hard to live in Germany when you can't speak German (lower job opportunities, housing etc.)

- UK has lower tax + social contribution (24% vs 35%)

- UK has more opportunities in fintech + banking

Sure Brexit has made UK worse, but I think that for IT it barely made a change.

with all recent FAANG layoffs and the overall stock bubbles crashes, why do you want to work there?

as a german i'm trying to avoid all of the stuff @cho-uc listed.

Fuck FAANG,
Fuck Fintech/Banks
Fuck US/UK

im gonna stay here, and work with decent salary and a job, that doesn't change every half year.

However, if you want to go big brain, go work in Switzerland, while still living in germany (though i'm currently not sure about the current state of the contracts between the countries; Historically it was: pay german taxes + 8% source tax)

That would potentially also give you the opportunity to move away from something that sounds like Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof tbh.

No good places to live in left in the world anymore 🤷‍♂️

UK is shit, already mentioned, I'm looking for alternatives too, want to gtfo of here, US is tough, need L1 visa only way, US has big pro of very good salary

@UnicornPoo you forgot to mention the driving on the left side of the road part. But damn, sounds serious there

@ostream MAANG? …
MANGA!

@Lensflare once when I heard this the first time and someone posted a very high salary, I was excited that there was some actual manga publishing company paying so much 😅
