Actually, a plenty of Russians may be interested, especially the ones living in Saint-Petersburg area. It takes only several hours by car and the train connection is very good too, so that they can easily visit parents, friends, etc. And salary in Finland are much higher comparing to Russia.
- olegp 10y agoYup, we're seeing that at Toughbyte as well, see my other comment. In fact we even have some candidates commuting to Helsinki from St Pete.
- barpet 10y agoSorry but you have just proved my point. What % of your team is FINNISH ? I mean you know...real Finns and not russians living in / commuting to Finland ? I do not make such differences in personal life but this is something that's important for the country. It's a matter of survival.
- barpet 10y agoAgain you proved my point. There is not a need to let these people in. Especially if they commute. What's the problem with opening an office in St.Pet area ? BTW what makes you think you are entitled to "higher salaries" ? And this is exactly the point. If you can deliver you should get paid the same thing in St.Pet. If the company would really need these people they could open an office in St.Pet and offer similar / same salaries.But they do not want to.
- fsloth 10y ago"What's the problem with opening an office in St.Pet area " If the need is to boost existing teams and not create entirely new teams then that's the problem there. It could be lack of imagination or courage as well :)
- kushti 10y agoSalary after taxes adjusted to pricing difference could be comparable or better in Russia. A pal of mine left Rovio and moved back to Russia just because of better income.
