   1) That's neither a distinct nor a unique advantage. Being an engineer doesn't immediately qualify you as being better placed to advise someone on how to improve their career opportunities. 2) Recruiters won't rip apart a res

   The only differences I can find between this and http://gender-decoder.katmatfield.com/ is that it highlights spelling errors and repeated words. Not sure how you can justify $99p/m when there are plenty of tools that

   Anything relatively senior in FinTech encroaches on the six figure salary mark. Plus there are plenty of experienced Data Scientists getting six figure offers lately. In the past twelve months the market has shifted quite quickly. £60-£70k

    Knowing Hung, he'll be too humble to mention his platform directly so I'll do it on his behalf: http://workshape.io It's a brilliant platform & I've hired a few great people on there.

    Almost every salary ceiling is low compared to SV but it's all relative. It's not particularly difficult to achieve a £100k+ salary in London and you can have a very comfortable lifestyle on a six figure income.
