Yeah that's true, expect around 50-55% of any pay (contracting or salary) to go to the tax man. As an employee, you get 6 weeks paid holiday, 5-8% of your salary in pension and you also get paid when you are ill. When you are contracti

I didn't know about the blue card, and yeah in theory it looks to make things easier. However like with many EU regulations, there's a nice idea behind but quite often a very different reality. Individual countries can and do over

A couple of things: You have to be absolutely certain that they will supply living and work permit for both you and your family. Immigration laws are very strict in Scandinavia, so you'd obviously want to be certain there won't be

There is an interesting parallel to what is happening in the US today with these dev bootcamps, to the surge in IT workers in countries like India and Pakistan this last decade. In these countries, an incredible demand for developers arose

Probably the guy broke a rule, or could at least be interpreted as breaking a rule. However, the infraction is so minor compared to the penalty. The guy wants to travel around the country and play music for free at a variety of venues. He c

You'll be cold emailing potential leads? In Europe that would not be legal, you'd have to get email permission through opt-in before sending a mail, except in very particular circumstances. I would think it's the same in the

It's rare I've been so ticked of at an article. First off, this guy has no conception of burn out. I work as a consultant. Just the last 12 months in my tiny part of the woods, I've seen several people break down at work and

Use resumator or one of the other cheap apps for handling this. For most people a canned response is absolutely fine, it's the no-response that ticks people off.

Now we're getting somewhere! If an opinion is not equal to scientific consensus, then it's simply not an opinion. Great stuff. We still need a better expression to derogatorily generalize these people though. "Climate-kook&qu

"Denialists"? You couldn't have found a more polarizing term for people with differing opinions? I mean we have to get the hate mongering up to a higher level, "denialists" just seem way to soft for these sub-people

Whether he builds the hyperloop or not is entirely irrelevant to the argument. Musk has already built several huge companies all based on the engineering of extremely advanced technology. And here is some guys calling him an amateur, a frau

These last few posts about hyperloop, while looking like valid criticism just reeks of envy, jealousy and sour grapes. It become obvious when you intersperse your arguments with descriptions of Musk as being "loopy", "stupid&

On the other hand, the computer scientist might still be fiddling with trying to achieve the "correct" architecture long after the self taught guy's software is in production, and earning money.

Open rate does not include the people who view the email without images, unless those people click a link in the email. A standard open rate (across email clients) is between 15-30%. However it's possible to consistently hit a 50-60% o
