As a former agency recruiter and a current inhouse recruiter for a large dev company I can tell you categorically that you would be laughed out the door. The purpose of paying recruiter fees is to reduce time spent searching and increase th

The direct opposite. In the UK tech market there is almost a desperation to hire female staff. The handful of female devs I've come across are generally paid more than what a male with the same level of experience would purely because compa

I've heard this argument many times before yet I've never once seen a shred of evidence to back it up. I'm not sure of the situation in the US but despite dealing with hundreds of UK tech companies and conferences in my career, I can catego
