Hi Fishes,

Need your honest opinions, I have offers from India (InMobi) and Luxoft, Poland.
India offer is 10% more as compared to Poland one in terms of CTC, India offer has handsome joining bonus and stocks as well
My aspiration is to work in abroad & travel , but not feeling comfortable to go with a lower salary there
I am a Cloud & DevOps Professional with 7.5 YOE
If I miss this Poland opportunity now, do you think I will have possibilities of getting onsite jobs in future at this level?

When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter.

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?
