😂 I mean it's not THAT bad at the end of the day. All the options on this list are good enough and also it depends on your specific situation. If you're making 400k as a HFT dev in London you probably have it pretty good!!

no worries... UK contractor rates are very close to Swiss ones (at least from the potential offers that I get). And you don't have to speak Schwiizer-Tütsch, LOL.

I guess for many persons it makes UK nr 1. I guess the list is just Nicola's personal view not backed by research (putting different countries in the same bag is a big mistake... e.g., Czech Republic is very different from Hungary, and even Spain and Italy differ much in the quality of life). I am glad Poland is at the top though.

Yes it’s a personal list. I’ve heard that UK contracting has gotten significantly more difficult in recent times
