Early 30s, male, Physics degree and I have a good job in sales in finance in the UK. Earn 100k GBP in a good year and I had a startup before were a more a good cash lump sum.

I think like many people I find more work uninspiring, pointless and eroding. However, it's well paid, high status and hard to break into.

I have an interview next week for a coffee engineer role which pays around a third of what I currently earn and would involve being on the road four out of five days.

Has anyone else made a change like this? How did you find it? Did you miss the money and status?

I know that office work is desirable for a reason (people like to sit down!!) but I think there might be something inspiring and rewarding about working with me hands. Am I being naïve because I've never really had to work with my hand?

Thanks for your help and honest feedback.

Are US companies afraid of hiring contractors from Eastern Europe?

I'm a dev from Poland with 8 years of commercial experience. I worked for US companies, visited the US a couple of times. I am a skilled developer and I rarely see my CV is rejected by recruiters - I had an opportunity to work on some cool stuff that draws people attention.

I noticed companies that are looking for remote devs are not interested in inviting me for an interview. I assumed the problem is my CV, experience or skills I possess. A few days ago I spoke with a less experienced friend from Germany I worked with and he said he has no problems at all with getting into the first interview.

I started to wonder, maybe it is not me but the place where I live?","time":1591004766,"title":"Are US companies afraid of hiring contractors from Eastern Europe?","type":"story"}]]
