So, essentially, even though you're "remote", you are tied to your current location and you're their bitch. Reject companies like GitLab, don't work there, don't support that.

You fail to realize that there are plenty of relationships between younger and older people where no one is taking advantage of anyone. In fact, you assume that, just because of the age difference, someone is being exploited. Your assumptio

I believe Minsky was his (now dead) friend. If something like this comes up for a good, deceased friend of yours, will you pick the side of an unknown to you girl over the person you knew and care about? I'm not saying that's the

Pretty easy if your remote worker has a LLC. You get an invoice for services and file it like any other business expense. It's quite hard if you want him to be an employee though.

the first source does not show grad salaries and the average is 57.5k, which is still a lot lower. the second source is paywalled and I can't open it at all.

by alt_f4 7y ago
where exactly? I did some googling and the results suggest the average IT grad salary in London (which is very expensive and features some of the highest salaries) is around 30k.

I don't have a fully formed theory, but I believe it is a combination of things: * there aren't any real EU tech giants * the regulatory environment is tough on businesses: it's hard to start one and follow all the rules. The

There's an argument to be made that they also don't use anything in that country because they're digital services. And, supposedly, taxes are to pay for infrastructure? Although these days the view seems to be, let's j
