I don't quite understand, wouldn't a falling GBP make expenses higher?
- richardwhiuk 8y agoIf you are paid in USD, and expenses are in USD, then the GBP salary budget looks better.
- guitarbill 8y agoRight, a lot of multi-national budgets are USD, so even if you aren't directly "paid in USD", that's what the beancounters see. And of course, you can always simply pass on the price increase to the customer, e.g. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/24/microsoft_price_rises/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/24/microsoft_price_ris...
