    Hi! I know you from Ceci's videos, I was wondering is you could tell about how's like to live in london as a software engineer, I'm currently on my last uni year and I was really hoping to move to the UK, but I don't if the life style would match or decrease on how I could live in my country (Costa Rica), I really love to be around art and culture, that's why london as a city is my main goal, but I've heard that my profession is not well remunered in the uk, greetings!

    • @thebritishlad8331
      @thebritishlad8331 5 днів тому

      Hola! It depends on your experience and the Company you work for, but you can expect a minimum salary of around £50k as a software engineer in London, but you could easily earn much more than that. You can get a better idea by looking at these websites: www.reed.co.uk/average-salary/average-software-engineer-salary uk.indeed.com/career/software-engineer/salaries www.glassdoor.co.uk/Salaries/software-engineer-salary-SRCH_KO0,17.htm I have no idea what your life is like currently, but the UK is completely different to Costa Rica. If you want to experience a big city life with an abundance of things to do and experience, then there's not many places better than London. Lots of considerations to take into account obviously.

Despite being an hour long (timestamps in the description), this video only scratches the surface, and there’s so much more to explore about each destination.

    @ScottChegg-b8g 19 днів тому

    tbf although there's a correlation with importing diversity and post-industrial decline, it's worth remembering that the slow decline came from the collapse of Bradford's textiles. First, worsted suits were replaced by polyester imports from east Asia, then the carpet industry died from the trend for laminate flooring and offshoring to Turkey (ie globalisation). Add to that turning building societies into banks (N&P, B&B and Yorkshire BS were all HQd there employing thousands) and UK being world #1 for online shopping (there goes the high street). All that decline is anywhere's recipe for crime. I have family in Clayton, and they are embarrassingly dumb. Seriously...they are proud of being stupid, snobbish about doing better, love getting drunk, and the girls can't wait to get knocked up by anyone so the government can be daddy. See Billy Liar, Rita Sue & Bob Too or read Room At The Top for cultural examples. That's been ingrained a long long time. Bradford people would rather sit on a beach in Spain than explore beyond Yorkshire. Too many blame one thing for any problem. It's called single variant thinking - and is the cause of most of our poor political decisions. Refreshing that you didn't fall into that thought trap in this vid.
