I've decided to quit since my remote job won't let me work abroad. That's a dealbreaker now given the summer. I'm just left wondering why I should be tied to the UK instead of being able to explore all of Europe and further afield. There's no real reason, so I've started looking around.
If anyone wants an expensive, fully remote contractor with experience as an AWS SRE (golang, python, k8s, terraform, bash), full-stack web dev (django, vueJS, some react, forgotten PHP), rusty big data (scala & spark) a part-time MBA in progress, and a 30 day notice period, let me know :)
- jjeaff 4y agoHow would they know if you are abroad? Couldn't you just setup a static IP in a data center in the country you are supposed to be in and VPN through it?
- nprateem 4y agoCorporate VPN pops up an alert. Plus even though I may be able to circumvent it, it's unethical so I haven't tried.
- seanp2k2 4y agoCorrect me if I’m wrong, but “expensive dev” in the UK means $100-200k, whereas in SV it’s more like $600k-1m. Hope you find what you’re looking for, consider SV firms as they pay way better AFAICT.
- nprateem 4y agoYes you're right. Has anyone who's been successfully hired as an international contractor by SV companies got any tips for how they made the relevant contacts? I may consider full-time but I hear people in the US work insane hours which I've no intention of doing.
