    Hey Frank, I left the Isle of Man in 2002 and my last role was Admin within the e-gaming industry. I had no idea it took off as much as it did. This video is very interesting indeed 👍👍

    Really enjoy your vids (we're moving in March). I'd say don't worry about repeat content at all, any of your old videos could be remade with "...in 2023" and I'd watch them 👊💥

    Hi! I've been watching your videos about IOM for quite some time now. I hope you could also make a video on how foreigners can find a job and relocate to IOM. That would be super awesome. 😊

    There are many manufacturing companies in the Island, who are mainly relatively High Tech. And remember that Strix who are the world leader on kettle thermostats are still headquartered on the Island. I remember finding special valves made by Kenmac fitted all over the Mossgas plant in South Africa. Now part of Swagelok which is the world leader on instrument piping etc.
    Much more important than gaming which could be killed overnight by legislation in other countries.

    I am looking at relocating there and wanted to find out if I could pick your brain a bit. I currently work for an e-gaming company. I work as a Senior Cloud Engineer. I also have extensive experience as a network engineer and I have written a few full stack apps. I can share my linkedin profile if required.

      If you are a Manx resident you will receive your full pension from the Manx government. It is apparently a special arrangement where funds are transferred to the IOM.

    I honestly believe the employment of those who are on lower wages is lacking.Unemployment also not really well measured due to the long term ones.The drug culture is also horrendous across the board.

    So gambling companies from all over the world are licensed by the Isle of Man. How do Manx authorities supervise the companies they license? Do you send examiners overseas or is everything done remotely?

    The island needs to crack down on immigration, English language tests should be compulsory. Otherwise we end up with King Gaming saga. What are you thoughts on King Gaming?

      My thoughts are King had nothing to do with the English language and we need immigration or we won’t have an economy.

    Yep, when you fall sick there is no more income as a foreign worker. 2 weeks sick leave means half your salary gone for that month. And I think that’s a good thing.
