Hi. I'm coming to terms that I may need to relocate to get work. Right now I'm getting into pickleball and think I could use that to provide social support and community outside of work. So I was wondering if there are coders who are also pickleball players and if you recommend your city as a great place to work/live and play pickleball. Thanks.

I realize this might be case by case but I frequently see international companies listing a remote working option. If they are based in a different country from my citizenship, should I assume that a work visa is required to work for them? Sometimes the job mentions a contract working option. Is that considered a work-around to requiring a work visa?

I will try to google this a little but don't see something clear in the initial results. Thanks.

hi, I'm a jr web developer. I started to take a course online a while back Finding Hidden Messages in DNA (Bioinformatics 1) through Coursera. when I start to research jobs in bioinformatics it looked like a master's degree is expected. is that right? do you think it is reasonable to find an entry level job if you finish an online certificate for bioinformatics or that's just not enough knowledge?

is the pay typically lower than other software jobs (it looked like many employers were universities)? what kinds of problems are typically being solved by bioinformatics? thank you.

(I only heard a talk by the book author but have not yet read the book; it sounded well-researched though; I got the gist that the book covered tech required for early games development and perhaps not a lot of coverage of modern video games)
