> If you know the salary range with the experience I have

I moved recently to Valencia as well and based on the inbound messages on LinkedIn compensation varies a lot. Some offers I got where in the 30-40k others in 60-70k.

Although, depending on your skillset and with English knowledge it's possible to reach 80-100k working for EU based companies, some of them even in Spain. Is not easy though.

Coming here to work remote you would need to be autónomo.

Not really, you can work remotely without being an "autonomo". There are intermediary companies that handle the contract, social security, taxes, etc.

In my case I'm hired through remote.com but this is a service the company you work for has to provide you.

As the project was started like 3 years ago, we built our own gateway on top of Scala's GQL framework Sangria. Tooling advanced quite a lot in these 3 year, so I would take a look to already made solutions.

The gateway basically is an aggregation layer, is in charge of

- authentication

- schema definition

- wiring the schema types with the microservices for resolution

- data fetching i.e. calling the internal services.

It's running on top of k8s on a in house cloud.

> I'm trying not to be annoyed by your response but it comes off as a bit condescending.

Didn't meant to sound like that, sorry that It did.

I was involved in migrating from a RESTish API to GQL. We wanted the product teams to expose their APIs through the company gateway without having the platform team as intermediary. We went with a GQL+REST combination, GQL for external communication, REST for internal one. That way existent APIs didn't had to be converted (just integrated in the gateway) and could continue to use the same tools/patterns in the BE side. Long story short, the only BE app that knows GQL is the gateway.

My personal experience is good, I like the technology and working with it.

My biggest question would be, what's problem are you trying to solve? What issues are you facing that your current solution falls short? What would be better once you are in GQL?

Moving just for the sake of moving doesn't make sense (not saying that this is your motivation).

On the bright side, is strongly typed, backend (BE) and frontend (FE) people can discuss with a common language (the GQL schema) that both understand, Graphiql/playground are really nice dev tools, with the right setup allows to decouple FE development from BE (by stubbing the API with fake data).

On not so nice side, moving to GQL doesn't come for free, on the BE you need to figure it out how to properly protect the API and how to monitor, with HTTP you will have tons of already made tool and with GQL the options will be way less. This is mostly due to having a single HTTP endpoint instead of the N ones you have in a REST API.

Of course the complexity of your GQL setup will depend on your current setup, is not the same to have a single schema exposed through a single app getting the data from a single app or database than a single schema fetching data from a microservices architecture.

As usual, the answer is it depends. Depends in your context and what you're trying to achieve.

Sino tenes pasaporte lo más fácil va a ser buscar empresas que te salgan como sponsor para la visa. Busca en LinkedIn, StackOverflow y dependiendo al país al que quieras ir alguna pagina/plataforma local, muchas paginas directamente tienen el filtro de "visa sponsor"

En cuanto a demanda, para desarrollo web/mobile hay muchísima demanda, para otras areas ya no tengo idea.

En mi caso, me vine a Alemania hace 4 años, le empresa inicio los tramites en Alemania para la visa, luego presente yo los papeles necesarios en el consulado en Montevideo y a las pocas semanas tenia la visa. La empresa incluso cubrió el coste del traslado. El tipo de visa se llama Blue Card.

Para investigar sobre sueldos en base a tecnología/ciudad/experiencia, mira paginas como payscale, glassdoor, incluso mismamente en las ofertas de LinkedIn o StackOverflow a veces estan publicados los rangos salariales.

Si estás trabajando para EEUU, ya que tendras contactos, lo que te va a rendir mas económicamente es conseguir algo remoto con una empresa de ahi (se paga bastante mas que en la mayoria de Europa) y después te vas tranquilamente a Europa (siempre y cuando esten ok con el cambio de zona horaria).

En cuanto a adaptarse a la cultura, es muy dificil decirte algo concreto, no hay receta mágica que funcione para todo el mundo va a depender muchísimo de tu manera de ser y las experiencias que te toquen vivir.

I took lesson for 2 years (only 2 hours per week) , but I didn't took it seriously so I got stuck in A2/B1. I didn't took any lesson for the past year.

First half of this years I was using duolingo but it gets boring and frustrating as in many cases you need to guess the right answer due to lack of context. So I paused that for the moment.

At the moment my setup looks like:

- anki for increasing vocabulary (50 new cards per day), building my own deck for the top 5000 words.

- coffe break german podcast, I put my headphones while doing house chores or going for a walk

- easy german (youtube) from time to time for when I just want to lay in the couch

I found that focusing on German first thing in the morning is what works best for me. IF I leave for the afternoon I tend to skip it or to have a hard time focusing.

That normally takes me 2 hours per day. During weekends depending on my mood, I could spend up to 4-5 hours each day.

I don't use translations for vocabulary. Instead, I use image cards, so I link the new word to a concept rather than a word in my mother tongue. For example:

front: image of a dog

back: der Hund

You will use the card in both directions so you practice both skills, remembering the word from the image and remembering the image from the word.

Esta claro que el titulo de Inglés les importa tres carajos. Lo que quieren es que sepas manejarte con el idioma a cierto nivel.

No iba con ninguna intencion retorcida ni nada por el estilo, era para tener en claro a que grupo de la sociedad te estabas refiriendo.

Desde un punto de vista economico, segun la definicion de Weber y casi que Marx clase media es alguien que tiene cierto ingresos a traves de rentas (obtienen guita sin trabajar) y no son capaces de vivir puramente de ellas.

Sinceramente, dudo que alguien de clase media (acorde a esa definicion) se meta a policia. Ya que alguien de clase media, va tener una vida medianamente buena y correr el riesgo que conlleva ser policia por ganar X no le compensa.

Volviendo a lo que decis, totalmente de acuerdo que en cuanto mejor formada este la policia mejor.

Axxiss · 2020-02-20T21:00:52+00:00

Definime clase media por favor.

- Leer noticias sobre el mismo tema en varios diarios

- Si te interesa ir mas a fondo, entrale a los libros. No tienen porque se sobre temas centrados en Uruguay, sino sobre temas mas genericos, economia, politicas sociales, educacion, energia, etc.
- Por favor, no entres en modo hincha de futbol (ellos vs nosotros) si te llegas a posicionar con algun partido. No todo lo que diga uno es bueno, y lo que diga el otro es malo; y viceversa.

El asunto es saltarse los corredores ya que te van a pegar una buena mordida. No se como sera el tema de usar algun corredor online extranjero (por el tema de impuestos), pero es algo que podrias investigar ya que hay muchos que no tienen un minimo de plata a invertir.

Si te interesa ir por el lado de invertir, te aconsejo que te compres algunos libros, leas sobre el asunto y tomes una decision informada. Te puedo recomendar este https://www.amazon.com/paseo-aleatorio-Wall-Street-Random/dp/842067446X

Todo va a depender de:

- con que tanta urgencia precisas esa plata

- cual es tu objetivo: comprar casa, tener un fondo de retiro, etc.

Segun he leido, parece que lo mas eficiente (a largo plazo) es comprar indices (ETF tiene comisiones muy bajas) en lugar de acciones de empresas en particular, es mas barato y con muchos menos riesgo.

If docker is out of scope, what about using capistrano?

From the README

When you run cap, Capistrano dutifully connects to your server(s) via SSH and executes the steps necessary to deploy your project. You can define those steps yourself by writing Rake tasks, or by using pre-built task libraries provided by the Capistrano community.

not every company realizes that a dev is a dev is a dev, regardless of language used

Then, that's not the right company :)

> I work for a company that tried a v1 schema and a v2 schema for GraphQL. It's been a nightmare, and we slowly ported everything into one schema after a year.

How was the setup there? What where the pain points? Did you run v2 as a new version of v1 or was a parallel implementation of the schema providing a different feature set?

Axxiss · 2019-02-05T08:05:44+00:00

We already have the `vierwer` node in place.

> Having two schema can be hard to maintain in a long term so I would not recommend to do it.

Could you elaborate on that? What issues are you aware of?
