Cluj, Romania - Founder/Freelancer - 1 year - totally worth (tax reduction from 45% to 6%)

Where did you emigrate to? London, UK.

What do you work as? Enterprise Architect

How long do you live abroad now? 10years

What is the bottom line? Was it worth it? Totally. London is a big city and there is a lot of things to do compared to D (NRW). Pay is much better and you get to know people from around the world.

UK - SWE - 3y - totally worth it (compensation wise)

Being in the UK, I'm surprised to see it on the good side of a SWE compensation comparison.

Take a look at the London contracting rates, you can fetch £600/day at the high(ish) end. Even Leeds I’ve seen people on £500+.

Permanent lead developer roles can also fetch £100k and above for the right company.

As someone who is considering taking a job in Germany, this thread makes me reconsider that dream.

Austria, End Developer and it’s 2 years now. it was worth it because of the tax break
