Hi guys, can I also ask in general is it hard to find a programming job in London now?
My Background: a javascript (node/react) dev with 2 yrs of exp, a EU(portugal) passport holder living in Hong Kong
- tomstuart 7y agoNo. If you’re good then there’s lots of demand.
- mikeymz 7y agoThere is plenty of work here atm. Excellent contract rates for good quality node and react developers
- woutr_be 7y agoIf you don't mind me asking, why would you want to move to London? Are you looking for more opportunities, or a better salary? As someone who's living and working in HK as a SWE, you can definitely get a much better salary here in HK if you're fairly experienced. Carreer opportunities are limited tho, because none of the FAANG companies have engineering offices here.
- hiyer 7y agoFacebook has an engineering office in London.
- woutr_be 7y agoWhy say so, I never claimed they didn't. I said Hong Kong doesn't have engineering offices for FAANG companies.
- longsangstan 7y agoBasically I just want to go somewhere to start fresh... not really career prospect/salary motivated. London looks a good option to me because its english-speaking, I have relatives living there, I can work there visa-free (now its complicated due to brexit), and I love english football haha.
- woutr_be 7y agoThat makes sense, gotta go for what makes you happy.
- honkmaster 7y agoCurious about living and working in HK with an EU passport. Am german myself. Did you apply from overseas or have been living in hk before.
- longsangstan 7y agoHaha I am a local Hong Konger. My father was born in Macau so I have a portugal passport.
- honkmaster 7y agoAlright man, thanks :)
