More annoying than that. Try hiring software engineers. When I started working in London 15 years ago my colleagues were from a mixture of counties across the EU, easily greater than 50%. Now it's rare to see a CV from outside the UK except for a perhaps people from India.

So? What's your issue working with British and/or Indian people?

What's wrong with losing access to a giant talent pool of hundreds of millions of people who can move immediately, visa free?
