Very cool on the transparency! I was surprised to see Spain (all one bucket) has higher salaries on your calculator than places like Edinburgh.

The dollar hasn't had a roughly constant value across time, perhaps on short time periods.

At the current point no, if we hit anything like 1% or above infected in a single country then yes we'll probably see that.

If European countries could keep the number of infections low I imagine the death rate would stay low, the issue is going to be when hospitals are saturated.

We're going to see the same in Spain, from 50 to 500 plus cases in a week but still a very relaxed attitude. Spain ought to learn from China/Italy/S Korea and lock stuff down now. It seems each country think it'll play

Oh for sure, Monzo and Starling I've heard very good things of. Revolut doesn't have a banking license so hesitant to include them here.

As a customer of N26 and Natwest/Barclays I feel that N26 in my experience has won in every category. Superior support when I need it on demand, the tech and apps seems solid, intuitive analysis and usage, the ability to have multiple

They are one data point and imo too low. Six years ago in Barcelona as a senior engineer the bands were 50-80k euros. Now the top end engineers (think team lead) top out around 100k euros.

It really depends on where you are based and if you are wanting remote or not? If you're in a major metro area like NYC/SF/London etc then I'd suggest Java/Scala/C++. If you want remote then JS seems to have t

Brb while I move to Vatican city, I look forward to my salary going up significantly.

I'd bet the inverse, folks pulling in the huge compensation packets have no reason to want to advertise this via a self reported site.

So obviously this is from a lightning fast google but I saw figures putting m2 of property prices away from the center of cities being $3.4k. That combined with what a 50% tax rate makes me surprised you paid a house and car off in cash un

Would you compensate them either with time or money for it? I think think if you know it'll take 'employees' that are contractors a certain amount of time and expenses each month then offering something small in exchange for

I believe the poster was meaning that the UK press is insular and doesn't report on wider European issues like the Spanish press and not commenting on Catalonia or making a comparison with Scotland.

Whilst half joking I've had children around this age and I don' claim to be a genius but the time afforded to technical exploration and learning has dropped significantly while they are young.

I've used one of their lower end thinkpads (s540) and have gotten 4 years of use out of it doing Java work with vms and running a ton of things without issues on Ubuntu. I've had next to no problems the whole time, second monitors
