I’m applying to a ton of places. To everyone that PMd me I am working on those too. The response has been awesome I’m trying to keep up with all the advice and suggestions. I never imagined this.
Fair enough I’ll do more research. I’d prefer a stable company too I think I’ve been burned by startups.Omg, no.. Don't move to London. Just don't.
Perhaps search for "Britain nanny state" or "reasons not to live in london" or "average work day london" or even "cost of driving in london" or maybe just go HERE.
What about the netherlands, belgium, spain, italy, Switzerland, or just about any other country?!
EDIT: I'm sorry, I know that wasn't helpful but I've spent a LOT of time in Europe both living and working and London is just about the worst place to live IMHO.
Further EDIT: It appears that TransferWise still requires funding every year and is still considered a "start up". With the labour laws out there I'd stay away. Far, far away...
It won’t hurt to take a look. Thanks!You have several big serious companies hiring developers these days. In Norway you have Finn, Equinor, NAV, DNB, VISMA, Microsoft, DNV GL. There are also several consultant companies hiring if that is your thing.
Wow. That does suck. There was some blatant racism at the startup I was just at but I didn’t have 6 years of undermining. That would suck. Good luck to you though! With all this experience going back to work for yourself probably isn’t as scary as it would be for me.Good luck with everything Alex. Hoping for the best for you and your family.
Personally, I've been at a health IT startup for the last 6 years, and it's come to the point where I'm fed up. The CEO is incompetent (he went straight out of college to the startup), most of the C-suite people act more like a hormone-crazed frat club than managers. Recently I've been undermined passive aggressively by other managers, who get the CEO or CTO to overrule my decisions.
Product-wise, the original core product is essentially what HealthKit and Google Fit became. I'm not free to delve into what our product morphed into after HealthKit and Google Fit were released, but basically I can't forsee it becoming profitable at all.
While I've been in the industry for 16 years, mostly I was running my own consultancy (early on), then consulting for Fortune 500 companies. I think at this point I probably will see if there's room for me in the local SMB consultancy market. While my startup experiences haven't been as terrible as yours, I probably won't be joining any startups again anytime soon
