Was enjoying Copenhagen in blissful ignorance of the exchange rate and then bae went and told me my trip to the swimming pool / spa area in this hotel cost an extra €50. Why?!? How?!?
-
People have been texting me so just to let y’all know yes I am in Copenhagen but nowhere near what happened and I am fine.

My overwhelming takeaway was that the market is shifting and those who had continued to hire effectively had shifted with it. The greater the shift, the greater the momentum. - Global expanse: US -> EU / LATAM -> APAC - Contracting -> employment where critical mass - Comp++
-
Less quantitively, market is more risk averse. I.e. more people accepting offer and then cancelling (better the devil you know?). Suspect this driving desire for employment versus contracting in some locales. Also taxes for contracting less favourable, reduced upside to risk.
-
Also learned some things about top of the funnel / advertising / employer brand which harder to make actionable for others. Investment in employer brand does seem to have long term payoff (e.g. visibility of technical direction / employment setup), difficult to measure directly.
-
Can't believe I forgot but time in process another big lever. Many companies have made improvements to make hiring processes faster and more efficient, devs expect to spend less time than previously (although still quite a bit for a place they value highly).

Out for dinner with friends and talking about books we’ve read recently and this guy tells me he read Ayn Rand and I was like wtf and then he says he also read War and Peace in German so okay I guess the world needs all kinds 🤯🤷🏻♀️
-
I recently read a ghost story romcom, pretty sure it was vastly more enjoyable but then for me reading serves a purpose of enjoyment rather than suffering 😆

It’s nearly 5 years since I moved to 🇮🇪 and soon I will be able to start the **checks notes** ~23 month wait for a passport.
-
I am not thrilled by Irish bureaucracy (passport service has been DDOS’d by British people seeking a better passport and by the pandemic+residency requirements combination). But still. Exciting to think I might actually achieve the long term goal of getting a better passport.
-
Still somewhat mystified by the residency requirements so if anyone actually understands them and wants to explain them to me or can recommend an immigration lawyer that would be awesome.
-
AndyDavies Oh totally this is why I moved. Many people thought I was overreacting but I now seem Very Smart.

seb_ly Yeah!!

kellyoyo I feel like I should try and sell you on visiting Ireland for your next adventure. There is a butter museum (so fucking weird and delightful) and also fewer British people (consider this a plus personally). Also, better food. Absolute excess of golf though.

kellyoyo 💯 agree on the golf
