Where are the talented people in Europe? I was looking for some for 14 years when I had my startup (in the most liveable city in the world apparently), but nobody came. What I learnt is that - naturally - nearly all highly talented people go to the USA (or sometimes UK) to maximise their chances. Also, the 2 most talented/intelligent people in IT I know since they were kids live in the US permanently now. One is at Google.
Keep believing that you'll find "huge numbers of highly talented people" here, you won't - unless perhaps you mean in the arts...
- itronitron 7y ago>> I was looking for some for 14 years when I had my startup ... but nobody came did anyone show up, and if they did in what aspects were they lacking? Genuinely curious.
- AdrianB1 7y agoIt depends where you are looking for them. They are plenty, but don't walk on the streets wearing a big sign.
- helij 7y agoYou didn't offer enough money.
- lazyjones 7y agoThe people who came wouldn't suddenly have become more talented if I offered more.
- helij 7y agoIf you offered more suddenly more talented people would appear at your door. People with the know how quickly realise the range. If the top of the range is too low they don't come knocking even.

- playing_colours 7y agoThey are not evenly distributed. If you mean Vienna under the city - software engineers do not tend to stay there - low salaries, no software product jobs, only basically IT departments - so you are seen as spends there.
