Hi Londoners, do you plan to stay here for good or move out? Why?

Moved here from the U.S. 5 years ago. No. Think it’s an amazing city, but it’s a bit too corporate (too many places that are franchises) for me. I also feel like a lot of the newer apartments that are being built near the city centers are a bit meh (just bad design and mediocre build quality), and if I have to live far out from the city, I’d rather be in another European capital with better nature or in the U.S.

Agreed! And then you have outsiders commenting on the coldness and seriousness of Londoners - try being in the trenches here for a week and see for yourself. If anything we still rise above it, make the most of it and are relatively positive.

Not sure. Depends where the City and country is headed. Economically it is no where near what it was pre Brexit.

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week. I’ve been a Sys Admin for the last 4 years, and I’m not very well-versed with coding. The phone screen does have whiteboard coding, any tips on what I could do to prepare for this? I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?

Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Hi everyone,

I am moving to London on Monday from another country.

I was just informed the earlier accommodation I made got messed up, I can't even begin to explain.

Can anyone please recommend a relatively cheap accommodation to me in London?.

Thank you so much.
