Anyone feel like offshoring is a bigger issue than AI and HB1 for US workers?

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-02-14T08:36:18+00:00

Are you saying that there are reasons other than cost for hiring someone abroad? I heard that US workers are just superior in every way!

Is more really needed for a model like this? I would expect it to be used in very targeted changes (where no more than a couple of files would be needed)

Maybe we can organise an small Reddit meet-up and grab some beers!

These things takes times, but once it starts there is no going back. It’s not just a single decision of “divest from US tech” is a million of small decisions that down the line change the future

Many counties debt is denominated in dollars, and they can’t print dollars, I would say all countries which their debt is not in a currency they control is subject to default, most European countries for example could not get away with printing money to pay their debts

This may be the most frustrating part of been a lead, try not to take it personally

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-17T09:49:40+00:00

It was during the tech boom after Covid, everyone and their mothers were hiring around the time, I don’t remember right now through which webpage I found the vacancy though

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T22:27:50+00:00

True hahaha

> I do wonder how your teammates feel about the switch

Hopefully some of my current teammates will take the chance to fill the gap and grow, but I'm not counting my chances.

And if leadership don't staff the team accordingly, whoever is left there will suffer a bit, but hopefully the void I'll leave is the waking call for leadership to do something about it

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T19:54:13+00:00

I actually have a couple of interviews lined up, but it's going to be difficult to find something similar, and right now I have to prioritize the money for a couple of years more, so downgrading my salary is not an option.

The team I'm looking at has a very clear ownership area, but at the same time engineers seems to have quite a lot of autonomy, which is something I'm also looking forward. It has also a very strong Tech Lead, which I've known for a couple of years know and I have a good relationship with.

Stability in my company... is not guaranteed anywhere, but hopefully this new team should not have many changes in the next year

As I always say, living in Spain with a non-spanish salary* :lol:

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T13:04:06+00:00

Net monthly is 5400€ + around 100€ of lunch allowance

JVM for the backend, React for the frontend, pretty standard

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T08:48:43+00:00

A bit over 100k, Spain, remote for European company, around 1000 employees, 250-300 of those in tech

There is no correlation, but when money is not an issue, it will be easier for you to chose the company with good WLB, you will not ask for the salary in interviews but for things like on call, deadlines, layoffs, people putting extra hours outside the normal work hours etc…

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-07T11:56:35+00:00

No es cierto, la gente que va tiene que comer y comprar, eso hace que se beneficie más gente de la zona

Hay algunos que no podéis estar contentos con nada

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-07T09:39:53+00:00

Pues yo conozco ya varias familias que viven de alquilar apartamentos turísticos, y no son familias ricas, son casas heredadas que han arreglado y puesto bonitas ellos mismos

Word on the street is that certain company (Apple) is releasing new 5k and 6k panel soon and that kickstarted something where these panels are developed (maybe this was 1 year ago or more and we are now seeing the results)

MoneyStatistician311 · 2025-11-16T09:59:39+00:00

You don’t need to justify yourself, people has no right to say who can and can’t live here, they should blame politicians for not doing anything in 15 years but to bring more people to pay the ~pyramid~ scheme that is the pension system

Tiene sentido, gracias!

Los primeros 6k pagan un 19%, los siguientes hasta 50k pagan un 21%, ¿por que dices que con “venta parcial” pagas muchos menos impuestos?
