Sure, I don't really understand how there can be such a pay discrepancy even inside the US for such a remote friendly occupation as programming. So I am not pretending to understand the dynamics.
Entry level jobs would be swamped though. Like for local kids in London when UK was part of the EU. Like half the kids in the union could speak english good enough and many thought it would be cool to work in London. Good luck raising a family on a normal job when compeeting with people that happely live packed in an apartment for some years before bailing the city for raising families themself in their home countries. I know like half a dozen friends who did that.
- astrange 5y agoYou wouldn't be living five to an apartment or wishing you weren't if London had sensible housing policy like Tokyo does. Doesn't every single building in the UK need individual planning approval? Also, London is expensive but the rest of the UK isn't, which by the cheap immigrant logic should mean the rural areas would outcompete them for everything, surely?
- rightbyte 5y agoAs I wrote earlier I have no clue =) However, I feel like it is way easier to get a job in e.g. London or SF since it is unsubstainable to live there for most people so there is a big churn. In smaller UK villages you can probably live a good life working at Subway doing sandwiches. Not so much in London. So you wont get the small village Subway job becouse the current holder does not quit. E.g. when I lived in Palo Alto I noticed a big lack of children so I assume you need to be rich to afford living there with them. So newcommers get the newly made parents jobs and so on.
