The UK seriously underpays software engineers, if US companies want to tap into the talent pool its relatively easy to do so especially with remote work. The UK has a serious lack of management talent and a trickle up economy that is damaging everything and the economic situation is not great. Its primed for a big brain drain.


>The UK seriously underpays software engineers

You mean Europe. UK actually pays talent quite decent in comparison that's why many talents still flock to London from the mainland despite Brexit.


But that's just London.

The rest of the UK... hit or miss.

Haven't deal with UK / EU a lot since COVID, so not sure if remote has changed that game up.


Can you elaborate on the Trickle-up Economy point. What do you mean by that? Why is it damaging?
