Yeah, these kind of jobs are hard to find. Well, he is actually willing to relocate and he speaks English, so let's hope that works out

That's an interesting point. He's been working for some months on his own project, that is an app for managing SMEs' salesforce. He has some experience on the enterprise so he really understands the problem. The thing is that

by luisivan 12y ago
Cool, he just mailed you :)

Should he reach you out or something?

That's really awesome, just showed it to him. He will try his best there, thanks a lot!

Yeah, he usually goes to startup and software events in Madrid, but he should probably do it even more. Thanks!

That was really funny because he almost went to work to Xerox New Zealand when he was an executive. He has been trying to contact people from his network, but they have all changed from company, role and even industry (most of his contacts

Well, the thing is not that he wants a premium salary, he actually is below market price, the problem is that there is too many people willing to work almost for free

Oviedo, in the north. But he wants to move to Madrid/Barcelona. Oh cool, I see he's a senior as well, he will contact him and let's see :)

No, he has not! Didn't know about that, but I'll tell him to definitely look into UK banks and apply. It might be a great match as he knows all the old tech banks are based upon but also the new stuff they could use to make their

Totally agree, the thing with countries like France is the language barrier. But he is fluent with English, so I may tell him to apply for UK jobs as well. Thanks!

by luisivan 12y ago
Hell yeah, he would actually love to live in another country :)

by luisivan 12y ago
He actually runs a free software association and is very active in the open source scene here, but yeah, I already said to him that he should contribute more on GitHub. Thanks!

He had a local client base, but he started to loose all of them because of the crisis... so I should probably suggest him to start working with clients from another countries, totally agree. Thanks!

Yeah, that's what he's trying to do, but at least here in Spain both Python and MongoDB are still considered as 'young technologies for startups' that aren't usually seen in the enterprise or in the normal freelance

I live in Madrid and I'm totally ashamed about this. I used Uber a couple times, the second one this friday, and I friend and I asked the driver what will he do about the fines that will start happening this monday. He just said that h

So what? I was just saying that, in the long term, he better focuses on doing things that matter

Focus on doing things that matter, not stupid apps/games. I started coding when I was 12 as well. Great age to start!
