I live in EU and there are a few things that have changed:
- tons of remote offers, even with technologies like Java where in the past very few offers were remote
- salaries significantly up compared to 1-2y ago (getting 90-100k eur for a remote position in EU was rare, now it's not surprising to see such numbers)
- companies shorten interview processes, both in terms of numbers of rounds but also the time the whole process takes. In the past companies could reply to your application after a week, now I saw a few cases where a week after applying they send an offer
- ericd 5y agoAre you seeing more offers from US companies? I've been assuming that SV-based engineers are sort of shooting themselves in the foot by demanding their companies go remote, because there are so many good engineers in the EU making a small fraction of what an SV engineer makes (even at 100k EUR).
- arnvald 5y agoI do (though this is anecdotal data, nothing I dug into). I have some LinkedIn job searches saved for Amsterdam, NL and I started noticing jobs from companies like Twitter, Github or Stripe where now they allow working remotely from EU countries. It's different than it was 2y ago.
- ericd 5y agoThanks, I wonder how much of that is just the way things were going for those companies, vs accelerated by the shift to remote-only.
