Very cool on the transparency! I was surprised to see Spain (all one bucket) has higher salaries on your calculator than places like Edinburgh.

> I'm almost 50, and to me the image of boys playing conkers only comes from books or TV based in early 1900s UK. I've never actually seen anyone play it.

Did you grow up in a city? I'm mid 30s and we used to regularly play conkers in the village where I grew up.

Yup, I found my current company (Sourcegraph) through a hiring thread!

It reaches 0C inside?

The dollar hasn't had a roughly constant value across time, perhaps on short time periods.

At the current point no, if we hit anything like 1% or above infected in a single country then yes we'll probably see that.

If European countries could keep the number of infections low I imagine the death rate would stay low, the issue is going to be when hospitals are saturated.

We're going to see the same in Spain, from 50 to 500 plus cases in a week but still a very relaxed attitude. Spain ought to learn from China/Italy/S Korea and lock stuff down now.

It seems each country think it'll play out differently for some reason. I imagine in 7-10 days Spain will have 5k cases plus.

Oh for sure, Monzo and Starling I've heard very good things of. Revolut doesn't have a banking license so hesitant to include them here.

As a customer of N26 and Natwest/Barclays I feel that N26 in my experience has won in every category.

Superior support when I need it on demand, the tech and apps seems solid, intuitive analysis and usage, the ability to have multiple sub-accounts and the ability to create rules to route money between them.

Natwest in particular seem stuck in the past, I cannot count the amount of times I've opted in for digital communication only and always continued to get letters to which I can never get through to support.

If company X moved 17% how much % do you think you potentially left on the table?

They are one data point and imo too low. Six years ago in Barcelona as a senior engineer the bands were 50-80k euros. Now the top end engineers (think team lead) top out around 100k euros.

It really depends on where you are based and if you are wanting remote or not?

If you're in a major metro area like NYC/SF/London etc then I'd suggest Java/Scala/C++. If you want remote then JS seems to have the most opportunities going.

This is a great thread idea, I hope it gets upvoted a ton and some interesting opportunities are available!
