> Was London at any point the startup capital of Europe?
Yes, very much so. I am an experienced Data scientists, and I looked around Europe for the last four years, needing a new job every three to six months, and London consistently had the top 5 best offers, be it in quality of the project, money raised, size of the db, etc. The conferences have been consistently larger, better and more relevant here than in Paris, Stockholm, Helsinki. The Meet-ups everywhere were good, but you have usually 5 people who are familiar with your specific implementation at most, 10 more considering it; in London, you have three to ten times that many people.
I have not tried working in Berlin yet, but all signs seem positive, and life is much cheaper there.
- branchless 10y agoLife is cheaper there because Germany hasn't (yet) invited the parasitic banking sector into the nest.
- germanier 10y agoThe banking sector would certainly move to Frankfurt and not Berlin.
- branchless 10y agoI meant inside Germany. Will they let them in to hollow out their economy via rentier activity, giving the initial "wealth effect" via high land prices or are the Germans smart enough to know to steer clear? Will the banks move from a country where they have totally captured the government and legal system? Will Germany guarantee no prosecutions for financial crimes like the UK tacitly did?
