This was my point all along. You might be able to start a company in Sweden, but you won't be able to grow it there because of taxes and regulations. It's funny how it took so long for someone to finally admit that I'm corre

King.com is incorporated in Malta. Presumably to get around taxes in Sweden and Spotify is incorporated in Luxomburg. Stop changing the topic. My point is that you can't grow a company in Sweden and every single example you have just

Incorporated outside of Sweden is the key here. It seems people are downvoting me because they dont want to hear the truth...but other commenters keep making my point quite nicely. Incorporating outside of Sweden allows big companies to en

All government funded operations except Minecraft..which is now owned by Microsoft. Funny..the Original owner of Minecraft never stayed in Sweden with his billion dollars. My point still stands: you can start a company in Sweden, but will

You made my point again. If you look at the wikipedia page, it's not incorporated in Sweden. It's a multinational corporation with an office in Sweden.

There will be no sustainable business. Regulations and taxes strangle your business before it gets to that point. If you look at the business landscape of Sweden, it mostly consists of large multinational corporations with bases outside of

It's very difficult to actually grow a company in a country like Sweden because of the regulations and taxes you are required to pay after a certain amount of employees.

This doesn't actually help you, it will only ruin your chance for negotiation and you will end up getting the lowest possible salary. Open salary will only help pay inequality because everything is a secret right now and some people ar

One company said I had to make a video of myself..and then the final interview would be singing a song of my choice in front of the entire company through video conferencing. This was for a software engineer position. I didn't even bo

I've made a career out of working for and with smaller companies. My paycheck is very good and I'm always learning new/different technologies. Most smaller companies dont have these sorts of interviews. Most of mine have be

Yes. Healthcare doesn't need another middleman Jacking up the prices. The extreme wealth tax, will only push extremely wealthy people out of the US and the middle class will suffer once again. I also don't believe the tax increas

I'm not 'afraid' of anything. Bernie couldn't even admit how much is programs cost (or didn't know). I would gladly vote for a more moderate Democrat.

Bernie Sanders has advocated for close to 100% taxes for top brackets in the past. None of the Bernie Bros on this site either want to believe it or to admit it. The shitty behavior of the Democrats and the push to full blown Socialism has

If you have a job that pays well, think again. If the Democrats win, you will be giving most of your earnings to the government. Bernie Sanders has already said he believes there should be a maximum a person should make.

You form an LLC or you will most likely lose the client. No ridiculous law and force a client to keep you.

On the contrary, the Chinese government has removed many of the tariffs because their economy is tanking as a result of the recent travel restrictions.

The Russians again? The American public isn't that stupid. When Obama was running, there were bots running rampant on many sites like Reddit. Were they Russian too?

That would be fine. If the cost of living matched these lower salaries.

Toronto salaries are less than half than in the US for software developer roles. With the high cost of living, I dont know how anyone can live there.

I've heard this argument again and again from Chinese government sympathizers...and it's just not true. The vast majority of people aren't brutalized and shot by the police. If it does happen, it goes through a trial and the

Technical debt for me means I will have a job fixing it at my current company for many years to come (If I want it). There will almost always be technical debt to some degree when it comes to software. Nothing is perfect and we always dont

My opinion is that if you are spending all of your time posting hate towards another person, you are mentally Ill and should get help. The problem is that many online communities foster this sort of thing and allow it to fester and grow..as

I've been working from home for the last 10 years. This article makes it sound like there are no down sides. You can get distracted easily, especially with a spouse and children. It's also a much different working experience whe

I disagree. There is a large supply of programmers. There is a small supply of good programmers. The good ones, if they know their own value, get paid well. I'm currently paid well. They went through 50 applicants before getting to

Do you have proof that the SuperPACs only purpose was to oppose gay marriage? He donated a very small amount of personal money as opposed to an entire company making donations.
