Well if they move the jobs offshore its pretty likely they will need contractors to clean up the mess in a few years.Originally posted by WTFH View Post
This was started 20-30 years ago when some bright manager decided they wanted a bigger bonus not quite sure how its Brexit related? When did Egypt & India join the EU?
Obviously Hungary and Romania are part of the EU but they are cheap which is why they and much of Eastern Europe was chosen for cheaper locations when we were in the EU. So many UK organisations sent jobs off to Eastern Europe or imported cheap staff back then.
Oh as a remainer you just make stuff up - of course! -

3k€ there buys you more than 4k£ here and the first is not that hard to get. The biggest cost in uk/london is rent which will eat a good part of that income.
most of them did it for family reasons but still… the offers used to be very different a few years back
