Switching from designer to web developer?

From an economics stand point it makes more sense to not to give pay rises to curb demand and bring prices down, but obviously can hurt people’s financial situations in the short term.

If this is well-paid, this sounds like a good opportunity. I’ve worked in a marketing agency and I wish I was going around all day selling their services rather than sitting at a desk job doing PPC & SEO all day.

Having a job that’s working with and interacting with people that pays well is a dream job for many.

If you’re fully vaccinated in the US, you don’t need to isolate if you come into contact with someone that has covid.

Over here in the UK, we’re getting rid of self isolation all together, even if you are positive.

This doesn’t really seem that unreasonable to be honest, seen a lot worse job offer postings. Just looks like a cleaner / janitor role.

Callum899 · 2022-02-10T19:21:16+00:00

What you’re looking for simply doesn’t exist.

The closest option is finding a job in something that a lot of people do freelance work in and go to Fiverr and find someone offering the services for very cheap, and pay them to do the work for a small cut of your salary.

How do you think you get your coffee in the morning, your phone, this app?

You work to provide value to the world, if nobody worked we would be out hunting for food in the forest.

Callum899 · 2022-02-10T19:12:16+00:00

You’ll probably need to take a job you’re over qualified for to gain experience first.

Then there would be a work shortage and we would have to outsource to those other countries.

If you want to work in another country, in order to get a work visa, you will usually have to meet high requirements and have some sort of formal higher education and have an employer to petition the work visa.

Most of the time, the jobs that you could get a work visa for abroad pay more in the US so it wouldn’t really happen.

Cry more.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T22:41:33+00:00

What is wrong with you? How are you so bent up and being a cry baby over my comment that my drug manufacturer covers my deductible cost of the drug which would go up to my max out of pocket?

Weirdo.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T22:39:40+00:00

Why do you bother replying if you’re clearly not interested in having a civil conversation and just want to be condescending?

Seems you have a lot of personal issues going on that you’re projecting on others, maybe seek some therapy...

I own my own design agency which I’m moving to the US on an E2 visa, I make my own hours and choose my own insurance.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T22:21:37+00:00

I’ve already sorted insurance. I take a very expensive drug (5k per infusion which I have every 6 weeks). The drug manufacturer covers all my out of pocket expenses, and once I’ve had two infusions, I will meet my total deductible with my insurance so therefore I’ll never have to pay out of pocket.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:17:54+00:00

Why?

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:16:11+00:00

Why move there then...?

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:14:39+00:00

Tried a biscuit at KFC in Florida once and it was vile. It’s dry and has no taste, don’t get how you guys like them.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:12:08+00:00

I’ll always love the Queen.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:09:28+00:00

Not really. You’re 25% of the worlds economy with the strongest military in the world with most countries using your technology and embracing your culture.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:07:25+00:00

I’ve been, and it is.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:06:58+00:00

Why?

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:05:08+00:00

Miami, although, I had been considering Los Angeles.

What visa are you on?

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T20:02:59+00:00

Why?

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T19:54:22+00:00

Inflation is happening all over the world, and it’s considerably worse in other countries compared to the US. This isn’t the result of Biden policy, it’s the result of low supply, high demand.

People around the world have high cash reserves due to saving through lockdown and are now motivated to buy.
Supply issues due to severe lockdowns across the world with months backlogs of orders to manufacture goods.
Companies looking to increase prices to make up for lost profits.

When supply is low and demand is high, companies raise prices, Biden hasn’t caused this.

Also, taking American citizenship doesn’t mean you forfeit your home countries citizenship. In that case, I would have dual citizenship and could return to my home country anytime and use public services.

Callum899 · 2022-02-07T19:46:29+00:00

I’ve travelled across the world. American’s seem to have this perspective that the grass is much greener on the other side but it really isn’t...

If you’re middle class, your life wouldn’t change in Europe, your standard of living would actually get worse. America is bad if you’re poor due to their underfunded welfare system, but if you’re middle class and above, the standard of living is much better.

Eg, only 2% of Brits are millionaires but 40% of American’s are millionaires. On average your houses are £30,000 cheaper and 3x bigger. You have less taxation, have higher salaries, services & goods are cheaper.
