The big consultancy companies now only offer those type of projects. You won’t find any big corporation without multi-site projects, where the development takes place partially in some offshoring country. In the enterprise big companies world, is full steam ahead with offshoring, if we speak about big countries like France or Germany. Can anyone with a foot on both sides of the pond shed some light on the markets relative to one another? I’m just not sure if European businesses are undergoing the same offshoring/layoff tendencies that we’re seeing in the US. The mother language and two foreign languages, one of the being English. This is one of the reasons why most Europeans speak on average 3 languages.

Some startups are open to have English only speaking workers, but they are hard to find. If you don’t speak the country language, it is going to be very hard to get a job.Įnglish only speaking nationals, from my personal experience, are only able to find a job in big corporations working in a global market that use English as their internal working language. Out of curiosity, what kind of reception would a software developer who has lived in the US for their whole career get in the European job market, say Italy or France? (Not interested in Britain if it’s reputation of becoming a police state is accurate). This is what happens when the company earns 2/3s of its revenue somewhere else.

I won’t make myself popular with a certain part of our readership, but really, is this considered a new problem? Mac OS X has always had terrible memory management, and where Windows has continuously become better at it, Mac OS X seems to have been stagnant and even getting worse. “Frequent beachballs, general overall slowness and poor UI responsivness, specific and drastic slowdowns on every Time Machine run, high memory utilization in Safari Web Content, mds, and kernel_task processes, large numbers of page outs even with a good deal of available RAM, and high amounts of RAM marked as inactive which is not readily freed back to other applications, with page outs favored.” Apparently the issue is that the “virtual memory manager is bad at managing which pages should be freed from the inactive state and which ones should be paged out to disk”.
