I bumped into such an online test by a marketing firm and I just couldn't bring myself to go through it. Dunno, felt a bit like monkey and a bit like "do I really want to work in such a place?".
What do you think about this?
Where she relocates to is pretty much open but we most often gravitate towards Germany, UK and Switzerland. We are pretty mixed up though due to mixed signals from all of them (UK: Brexit, Germany: difficult language, Switzerland: cost of living).
One thing we know is that we don't want to go to Ireland or something close to it. Great job market but high cost of living and public services not close to taxation (we were not happy especially with health and education). We have a small pre-school kid. So, if we learned anything from there is that we're willing to exchange a higher taxation rate with good public services.
Anyway. I'm curious. Which country in EU would you consider under similar circumstances.
Thanks
Having worked with a good few Open Source tooling/libraries/frameworks etc and with a lot of similar internal ones I have come to the conclusion that almost invariably the quality of the later is far below the quality of the former. Being documentation, ergonomics, bugs, you name it.
Open source alternatives are much better than proprietary closed source ones. Mind you that I'm not talking about code quality, I'm talking about mere usability and dev experience.
This is consistent across quite a few medium, large and very large companies (enterprises) I've been. Worst case (and quite common) is when a company "builds" upon OS (e.g. a framework based on Flask). The end result is a painful to work with half-baked mess.
What I don't get though is that OS is built (in many cases) by hobbyists for free. The internal messes are always being built by people on a steady payroll. I just don't get it...
