The are charging me 9k per month for corporate housing in Soho

The housing in insane fr

near grove

#

you can get a room in zone 2 for 10% of that

And then renters have to pay council tax lmaooo

Which isn't cheap either

#

The flat is nice tbh but i wouldn't do it if it would have to come out of my pocket

#

Who pays it? 😂

hidden wind

For how many months do they pay the apartment for you?

hidden wind
#

1-2 months

vivid coral

Hhahah damn! 😱

#

I assume you hit the jackpot and work for a finance company?

hidden wind
#

Ive heard that some finance companies fully cover housing and cabs to and from the office

#

Can you guys confirm?

near grove

so i would be surprised if they covered all that lol

Idk I’ve never been to London

Liverpool street housing is gonna be fucking expensive

Oh wait I thought you were talking JS London 😂

but yea idk the streets there

#

Btw… I’ve been thinking… You said you will intern at a company near JS office and that they don’t provide accommodation, yet you’re looking for accommodation in a near area - so I assume they give you a solid lump sum? Is that Bloomberg? 😂

vivid coral

#

FT base pay only 75k non-negotiable

#

if i recall from my friend who got the full time offer recently, the sign on bonus is 5-10k also non-negotiable

#

i got another friend who's now a senior swe at bloomberg, his TC is 140-150k after all the bonuses

#

after about 4 years at the company

#

medium-large hedge funds (js, optiver, hrt, maven, g-research etc) + palantir + selected positions at FANNG are the only companies that pay >=100k TC (base + sign on + bonus) for fresh grad

near grove
#

thats a lot of money here though

#

even if you get meta, g or bloomberg you're instantly in the top 5% of earner right out of uni

#

it's a bit out of touch to say "only" 75k

vivid coral
#

Is Nando’s good? Or should someone avoid this restaurant chain? 😂

near grove
#

It's pretty good, not amazing

livid valley
#

not like the swes in UK do less work than US or other countries

near grove
livid valley
#

true that never think of it that way

#

makes sense

#

guess the economic gg remove the froth of excessive TC

mystic crystal
#

I wouldn’t say they’re overpaid in the US

#

the US clearly values swe’s more compared to the rest of the world

near grove
#

it's all relative

#

they are overpaid compared to the rest of the world

mystic crystal
#

yeah but saying they’re overpaying is saying they’re not worth the money. Yet the US is the biggest tech market in the world and salaries continue to rise above inflation

#

lol?

#

that’s just bias

#

nah it’s defo bias, let me guess you’re American?

#

there you go

near grove
#

😂

mystic crystal
#

how can you confidently say the US are more hard working than every country in the world lol

near grove
#

bro contractors are obviously not gonna work outside their contracted hours

mystic crystal
#

your argument makes 0 sense

#

it’s just bias against non-us workers based on your own experience

near grove
#

in my experience americans are fat and lazy!

#

my experience is correct

#

yes

mystic crystal
#

I’ve worked for 3 American companies

#

this discussion only solidifies my understanding that the average US iq must be very low

near grove
#

lol

#

american exceptionalism is absolutely wild

#

people in the us work long hours cause ur culture is ass and if yu get fired you're fucked over by your social systems and immgration policy

#

your anecdotes are not objective

mystic crystal
#

But your thinking isn’t objective?

#

it’s based on your own interpretation of people your worked with

#

so because you worked with lazy people who happened to not be from the US, then all non-us people are lazy

near grove
#

there is lol

#

have you ever looked at china

mystic crystal
#

let me guess, you’ve never worked with a lazy us person

#

There you go, the US must be lazy then from your logic

#

openai are a company?

#

not a product

#

the US is largest in tech from a global stand point in terms of innovation

#

but lack in many other areas

#

how old are you by chance?

near grove
#

ahhahabha

mystic crystal
#

you can't be serious

#

this must be a troll

near grove
#

this gotta be satire at this point

#

only americans work towards their dreams

mystic crystal
#

yeah

#

the rest of world just waits for the US to do everything for them

#

if you want a stereotype of a typical american, you are it

#

you do mean that

#

that's what you've been saying

#

you say that if any non-us person works in the US, they are automatically worse

#

but its just not true

#

but what does a weaker work ethic even mean?

#

more hours != better work ethic

near grove
#

Studies have shown time and time again that lower work hours increases productivity

mystic crystal
#

^^^

#

lol

#

you have no clue

#

you are in a bubble

#

the only people who work like this are the americans

#

everywhere else in the world works opposite way

#

so americans are the weird one in this case

#

but just cause you are good in one sector doesn't mean anything

#

you're lacking in so many things

#

you're like a 3rd world country in most of your sectors

#

i don't hate america

#

i dislike your bias opinions

#

because it's 100% bias

#

you say you speak objectively but it's literally the complete opposite of objective

#

its subjective

#

you need to go back to school bud, or become wordly

#

because you are living in a bubble

#

you're not

silk wedge
#

baguette

mystic crystal
#

just because you live someone doesn't mean anything

#

you have no empathy of how others work

#

you literally spout opinions like its fact

#

somewhere*

mystic crystal
#

what you've said today is exactly the reason everyone assigns the typical stereotype's to americans

#

it made 0 sense what you've said

#

if you can't see that, i cant help you

#

but I don't have negative perceptions?

#

you have negative perceptions on everywhere else

#

it seems

#

how can I judge the whole of the US based on a couple of US people I've worked with

#

LOL

#

they don't have a better work ethic?

#

each culture works in different ways and there's lots of factors driving that

#

there's positives and negatives to US culture

#

lol

#

^^^

#

the US don't pay people more because they have a "better work ethic"

near grove
#

omg not this argument 😂

mystic crystal
#

US companies do hire people in other countries?

#

and did post covid

#

pre*

#

ofc, because it's cheaper yet they get the same if not better quality

#

it literally dismisses your argument completely

near grove
#

you realise most devs are outside the us?

mystic crystal
#

like I said before, the US swe's get paid the most mainly due to it mainly being the largest tech market

#

with the largest tech companies

#

as well as they're generally being a lot of money there

#

there's no way of us knowing lol

#

so this argument is stupid

#

you're 'facts' are just all opinions

#

your*

#

no it's not LOL

#

they may all be US companies, but I assure you they are all not built by americans

#

there are thousands of devs behind those products

#

millions even

#

yeah but your points are not making sense

#

you keep trying to allude america is better

#

in every way

#

you're probably a trump supporter

near grove
#

not really sure what your iphones point is supposed to be considering it's the only american company in the top 5 market share and is very close to dropping to no2

mystic crystal
#

why would people focus on positives? when there are terrible negatives about the US

#

for instance, school shooters

#

the fact you have school shooters makes the US a 3rd world country

#

no we don't?

#

i dont take it lightly, to me it only proves that america isn't a serious country

#

you don't want it to stop?

#

if you did, it would be stopped by now

near grove
#

most tech in the english speaking world is american because the us is the biggest english speaking country, has more money, lots of tech companies are already based their which attracts more companies to come, less regulated labour market and not very high taxes

mystic crystal
#

it's happened in many countries in the world

near grove
#

chalking all that up to "americans have some magical power to work harder" is extremely disingenuous

mystic crystal
#

but they always stop after 1-2 shootings

#

because the countries stop it

#

america doesn't want it to stop

#

because they likes guns to much

#

i don't have one

#

never said i did

#

there are solutions lol

#

having no guns?

#

australia banned guns after their school shooting and guess what, no school shootings since

#

its a miracle

#

america is a 3rd world country because they would rather children die than give up guns

#

nobody will change my mind on that

#

objective? so objectively it makes sense to keep guns and let children die lol

#

you are very lost in the US bubble

#

it's called a re-call

#

there are so many ways to limit school shootings

#

but nothing is done

#

because they want them to happen

#

lol

#

in any other country in the world that is a democracy

#

if a school shooting happened, it wouldn't matter what laws there are

#

they would get banned asap

#

yeah sorry, forget can't bypass that precious amendment LOL

#

it makes 0 sense

#

the law is just writing

#

they can change the law

#

they choose not too

#

no they won't

#

they increase year by year

near grove
#

lol

mystic crystal
#

yeah, mental health education will fix it LOL

near grove
#

that will solve ti guys

mystic crystal
#

ah yeah, im sure that will fix it too

near grove
#

mental health is famously very static and does not change over time

mystic crystal
#

americans are very ahead in many aspects, but like 20-30 years behind in many too

#

america is behind on basic human requirements

#

if america was a serious country, they would of banned them 20 years ago or limited them by a lot

#

only in the US will people be mad about violating a law about guns than seeing children die daily in their own country

#

ofc they do, they're better than the world at everything

#

they even think deeper

near grove
#

"we just need to deal with kids getting killed for 30 years because we dont want to risk hurting people's feelings" is such a wild take

mystic crystal
#

^

#

i'm from the UK

#

you speak about objective thinking

#

so i ask you, objectively what is worse - losing guns or continuing to see children die

near grove
#

scotland

#

and we do have guns here

#

they just require licenses and there's restrictions

mystic crystal
#

yeah but guns are very limited here, with many restrictions

#

and guess what, no shootings

#

you need to go back to school, as you have 0 idea what objective thinking means

#

all you just said is your opinion

#

objective view isn't an opinion?

#

lmao

#

subjective = opinion

near grove
#

do you really think we shouldn't make progress if it doesnt solve the problem 100%?

#

the 2nd amendment is writing on a piece of paper

mystic crystal
#

the problem is deeper than shootings, its the fact americans hold so much to writing on a piece of paper written what about 200 years ago?

#

yeah but like a modern society we update our laws

near grove
#

the royal family doesnt kill tens of thousands of people a year

mystic crystal
#

if a school shooting happened tomorrow

#

the UK parliament would do whatever it could to limit school shootings asap

near grove
#

and thats saying a lot, considering how incompetent our current gov is

#

but they would still do it lol

mystic crystal
#

exactly

#

like the UK parliament is no where near perfect

#

but in the UK, we understand basic human needs

#

like children's lives

#

yeah but in my view, you are no different to them

#

because you care more about an amendment than children's lives

near grove
#

i actually have spoken to pro gun americans and they have the exact same reasons

#

b b b but the constitution says we can have them

mystic crystal
#

americans are just brainwashed

#

it's the opposite of woke?

#

the rest of the world see's it, but nobody understands it

near grove
#

woke people are not the ones trying to keep guns lmfao

mystic crystal
#

to us, it makes no sense to follow laws or amendments that are never updated and never will

#

like i highly doubt the people who wrote them would agree of the state of the US today

#

what lol?

#

have you been to london

#

figures

#

the UK isn't in a great state sure

#

but I think fundamentally people want the good for the country

#

in the US, it's completely different

#

the us is not peaking, the US peaked in the late 1900s

#

who said anything about russia & china being chill?

near grove
#

he always goes back to the "you hate americans" thing lmao

mystic crystal
#

and i don't hate america culuture

#

i just dislike the thinking behind it

#

you're so opinionated it's unreal

#

and the fact you think you're objective is crazy

near grove
#

where did this russia and china stuff come from 😂

mystic crystal
#

😭

near grove
#

you said some really dumb shit and we pushed back, that's not hating americans

#

that's being anti-american exceptionalism

mystic crystal
#

this is only strengths our argument

#

just because we have differing views, doesn't mean we hate you?

#

this is another problem

#

its true a lot of non-us people hate americans

#

but a lot love america

#

because outside of the US, we only hear negatives every day about it

#

like i said, US has been on a downward spiral for many years now

#

lol

#

im going to stop now

#

this will continue in circles

near grove
#

the us is not even close to being the most diverse or accepting society

#

but you're clearly so far down the american exceptionalism pipeline that there's no point in us arguing

The interview afterwards is just on things to do with java/python

There wasn't any code involved. I'm still surprised they ghosted you. You sure it didn't land in the Junk/etc.?

are you still in the process? or did you get rejected?

Not officially rejected but rejected for sure since I didn't do too well on the Java questions

I am curios of one thing. I searched online and to live in London you need to have at least 200k / year

#

but that’s like 1% of the population

#

how are people coping with the costs of London then

#

because an apartment somewhat in the centre is around 1k / week

#

imagine … 4k only on rent

livid valley
#

as general swe

#

might be lower

livid valley
near grove
#

anything above 30k is fine, obviously won't save much on that though

#

below 30k is liveable but definitely not comfortable

near grove
#

if you wanna live alone and pretty central then 1.5-2k is more realistic

#

(these are per month)

cunning umbra
#

ah nice

vivid coral
#

@cunning umbra I assume you come from a city where there is a single city Center and not multiple?

From my understanding there are multiple smaller city centres in London. Basically each having their own flaire and if you want to you can stay there all the time you don’t even need to go to Oxford Circus.

I have seen flats in zone 2 for 1.5k (no bills).

not many people really live in central central london but the public transport is good so you can get a flat in zone 2 for 1.5k that's probably like 20 mins away from the centre

junior bay
# livid valley converted to pounds its 70k

Was this originally a HK salary though? tax difference is big so cannot really convert directly like that. 17% vs 45%. Because an internship at Millennium and competitors pro-rata is higher than £70k.

vivid coral

Hahaha silly question but “pro-rata XXX per month” means you get every month XXX. If your start date is 3.7 you only get payed from 3.7-31.7 ? Full for next month and so on

Hahaha just had to check how much money I really make and if I can afford housing 😂

It’s really scary to see someone quote so much money for housing. Nearly 2 times more than people in my homecountry make on average as swe 😂

honestly if you think london housing is bad you should see the absolute shitshow going down in the amazon dublin server 😹

Some bank are pretty stupid in the UK

#

I've been trying to get a few credit cards here and most of them will not even consider me for the credit eligibility test cuz i haven't been living in the UK for the past 3 years

#

For a freaking basic credit card

#

Also Chase won't open my current account without any explanations

vivid coral
#

yeah I heard its a nightmare to open bank accounts and get credit cards as someone who just moved there. My recruiter therfore advised me to get monzo or revolut.

#

its not really a perfect bank (actually revolut is not even a bank) but for the short term its a good solutiin

near grove
#

Yeah go for monzo or starling or something similar

#

Credit cards are a hassle to get if you don’t have residency history here so you’re probably gonna have to go with just a debit card

#

Some banks are more forgiving than others tho, I’ve heard amex is easier

I managed to get one from HSBC today but its definitely a hassle

Bro I went to a viewing the other day and they had 11 offers

The market is so dry rn if anything half decent appears there's people handing offers without even seeing the flats

near grove
#

Yeah

#

When I was searching for my current place in edinburgh last year it was basically first come first served

#

I only got my current flat cause I called them like an hour after the posting went up and I don’t have a job so I was available for a viewing earlier than the other 20 calls they apparently got

There was this flat that I had to view and the tenant was being a little difficult with the agent (totally understandable, they probably screwed him) and the next day someone agreed on a let just with the online photos

#

I just dont get it, the average salary in London is not suitable for this kind of prices for housing yet there are tons of offer within an day

near grove
#

There’s lots of high earners here as well, most people on average salaries flat share or live further out

#

So if ur looking at central London then youre probably competing against other high earners

#

Like a flat share in zone 2-3 is affordable for average salaries

#

London is the only city in Europe I know where “average” income still requires you to Flatshare 😅

#

Dublin is really bad as well

#

You can live alone in london on the average salary but not close to the centre

#

Only like way far out (or in a neighbouring town)

Honestly the most annoying part is how expensive a 1 bed or studio is compared to a 2+ bed

Hey all, was wondering if anyone could help with information about J1 visas. I’m currently at Roblox for the summer and them have an upcoming 12 month with uber after, both in states. However, uber told me bc of j1 something visa something, they cant have me anymore. So its either roblox or uber for them

I think the rule they’re referring to is the 2 year rule saying i have to go back to country for 2 years after intern ends

But i know some people get internships every summer so wondering if theres a way for me to go around this with my visas

Yeah you can usually request a year off to work

#

Or maybe a semester if your uni allows that

livid valley
#

I think even for states u cant just choose because candidature for bachelor is fixed to 5 years

#

meaning u have to grad within 5 years

#

but it's more flexible to take leave of absences

#

so u can do internships and what not

#

meaning ucan take a whole year of LOA, but that's the max, u can't take more than that

#

it's also common to take semester leave of absences,cuz LOA is by semester, u have to apply for each semester. most of the times it's easier to find a 6 months intern, so ppl also tend to take one semester off

#

didn't know that UK is stricter on this

meaning u have to grad within 5 years

yeah stem opt requires an e-verified employer

you need to fill out the i-983 training plan with your manager

you would want to submit the application for stem opt before your current OPT period expires.

so if your OPT EAD is authorized up to, say on the 1st of january, you have to get the stem opt application in ON or BEFORE that date.

you can submit your stem opt application within 90 days of your opt expiring
