Are you saying that there are more tech jobs in the UK vs US?

Based on all the positivity in these comments, it does seem like the UK has at least a more laid back, sort of entry-level culture making hiring decisions than the US does at the moment... awesome ;)

More jobs? No. But 'more' doesn't really matter. It's hard enough to move to the US.

It's easier for him to find a tech job in the UK (there are plenty) than it is to move to the US and get a tech job (for which he'd need to get sponsored by a company).

The biggest difference between US and UK tech isn't job 'quantity', it's job 'quality' (the culture in the US is better imo). But I'm not sure that's OP's priority currently.
