morning
Hi all. I'm considering moving back to the UK in the next year or two and was browsing Clojure jobs to get a feel of what was out there. Outside of London, a lot of job ads seem to be around the Bristol/Bath area. Does that sound right to those of you in the UK?
The COVID situation has up-ended the perceived thought about being at an office 5 days a week
In the before times, the only places I have heard of Clojure jobs are Glasgow, Manchester and Dahn Sarf
Maybe if you come back to the UK, you can choose somewhere nicer to live, like Scotland, with its rugged coastline (and people... :-)) instead of inner laaaawdan.
So you reckon a lot of companies are going to keep working remotely after COVID has calmed down too? I'm in Japan and here a lot of companies went remote for the first wave or two of infections but have mostly gone back to the office now.
i think so
here it's dollars and cents
office space costs money
so letting people mostly wfh is a cost saving if you can organisationally survive it
that makes sense, heard of lots of cos doing the same @dharrigan
But they are possibly also hoping that no one else will rent it, and that we might go back at some point, which is weird
Everything works, but in a very Japanese way. Usually involving a lot of faxes and stamps
Yeah the food here is pretty good. Eating out is really cheap too. The supermarkets aren't great though. I'd kill for a Tesco or Asda nearby
I work at a small company in maidstone, we use python primarily but also some clojure but I recon we are pretty unique in that area, certainly bristol and bath seem to have quite a few jobs we are also looking for devs :)
out of interest, is there much of a Clojure market in Japan? The stereotype is that it's all Ruby but I don't know how true that is or not
@barnes.kai Can confirm, just started this job and although the company is London-based the job is 100% remote, so I'm based out of Mancs but moving to York. We do seem to have a fair few devs from either London or Bristol though (and some in Europe)
Hmm, that http://gov.uk doc is unclear. Post-COVID, can I claim WFH costs if I am contracted to WFH but the company does technically have office space (a long way away), or does that count as "choosing to WFH"?
