I was just offered an amazing logistics job in England. At first, I thought Brexit would pose a unique challenge but the more I learn, the more I realize how bad the situation really is. Do you see things improving any time soon?

With Brexit? I don't know, honestly. So much has changed in the past couple of years not only due to Brexit, but also due to the pandemic and now the Queen's death. I feel like England is slowly losing it.

Probably not. The government keeps trying to put bandaids on the problem instead of completely overhauling the system which is the only solution. The lack of competence they have shown so far means this pattern will keep going for awhile.

Currently working as a process engineer in switzerland (south east). Salarys and Rent are Medium High. Current salary around 80k. Trying to switch to sales (same company). Had a talk with the teamleader. He talked about the job and told me that they were actually looking for a junior sales (and some product management responsibilities ). That they are looking for a junior isn't to bad, because i have no experience in sales (customer contact yes, but no sales) What salary can i expect?
