Ask HN: Dear Germans, where you emigrated to?
My question is addressed to all people from Germany who have emigrated to another country.
My questions:
Where did you emigrate to?
What do you work as?
How long do you live abroad now?
What is the bottom line? Was it worth it?
- hknd 7y agoUK - SWE - 3y - totally worth it (compensation wise)
- psv1 7y agoBeing in the UK, I'm surprised to see it on the good side of a SWE compensation comparison.
- jackcodes 7y agoTake a look at the London contracting rates, you can fetch £600/day at the high(ish) end. Even Leeds I’ve seen people on £500+. Permanent lead developer roles can also fetch £100k and above for the right company.
- Lionga 7y agoCluj, Romania - Founder/Freelancer - 1 year - totally worth (tax reduction from 45% to 6%)
- eryk20013 7y agoAustria, End Developer and it’s 2 years now. it was worth it because of the tax break
- Auslaender 7y agoWhere did you emigrate to? London, UK. What do you work as? Enterprise Architect How long do you live abroad now? 10years What is the bottom line? Was it worth it? Totally. London is a big city and there is a lot of things to do compared to D (NRW). Pay is much better and you get to know people from around the world.
