There are about as many stories and reasons for moving as there are people who have moved and returned. Some, on the contrary, find more reasons to stay where they were born. For some, moving is the result of long reflection, for others - a firm conviction, and for others - a combination of circumstances that pushed them to explore new horizons.
For our guest Denis Neklyudov, it all started with the fact that the owner of the company invited the employees to spend the winter in Thailand. Then Denis could not admit to himself that he was ready for emigration and permanent life in another country, but a couple more accidents turned his ideas upside down, and now it is difficult to imagine a return to Russia.
Denis is a Staff Engineer (Mobile) at Lyft, co-author of the DevJobAccelerator course for developers , a well-known podcaster in the mobile community and a speaker at conferences. Over the 10 years of his career in mobile development, he tested on himself what it is like to live in Thailand, Great Britain (during business trips), Singapore and the USA. Let's talk about this, as well as how to move well, about grades and income in Silicon Valley, and its differences from Russia and Singapore.
