That seems pretty overzealous, companies like SAP or Heinlein are doing well-ish and the recent push for digital sovereignty has induced some money. There also is a bunch of mixed shops (doing he and software or integration work).

The primary difference is that many expect on-site and they pay is generally not US-startup scale.

Many companies also expect you to at least have some knowledge of their local language (e. G., German, Spanish or Polnish) and not just English. One has to adapt to be competitive here.

OK - test: Send an applicatio to SAP, on next Monday, and lets see - their CEO announced nearly regularly large lay offs

So Uk dead, Eu dead.. How is Asia doin?

Meanwhile there are 5m+ devs in Europe, more than in the US apparently.

Nah, definitely not.

And programmers haven't gotten any better in the last 5 years

Rubbish - you guys are spending too much time on twitter x.

I must be a necromancer when I can afford a mortgage and a family being a Dev in EU.

Software Development Lich. Does have a nice ring to it.

Maybe my old Nintendo Switch can be my phylactery. I have a particular fondness for it.
