Seems interesting, will check more about it, thanks!
Well, I'd like to believe career and life can both be achieved, it's all just a matter of managing yourself. That said, contractor life doesn't appeal to me too much right now. But thanks for the comment :)
Yes, you got a point in here, I should focus a bit :)
I may try, thanks for the info!
I will, thanks for the comment :)
I'm 31 so this is kind of my concern too. I can see amazing startups I'd love to work at, but probably the work schedule and the pay wouldn't match the needs of a family in London.
I may need to check those offers in more detail, I just wonder what kind of life-work balance there will be :)
nah, no worries, in a sense it was good. I noticed areas I need to improve and I'm happy to get to the on-site interview. If I got to that step I probably will be more confident with other interview processes.
I hope not! Just that I already did and failed :(
I asked and they said "try in 1.5 years" so... maybe then :)
you have a point here, thanks :)
Thanks for answering. As much as I'd love to work there, I already applied but after going all the way to on-site interviews, I wasn't hired.
My mistake as I applied to SRE and probably I should have gone for Software Developer instead, but too late for that now.
It has to be London, a pity as I read fantastic things about Red-Gate :)

TL;DR: Where could I find a decent balance between paycheck/technology/career progression/work-life balance in London?Hi fellow HN's,I'll have to move to London soon, in the next months. I'm a senior software developer (8+ years) with some experience with Scala. I do some coding in my free time (small things and one side-project I expect to publish soon) and I collaborate in a small open-source...
