London tends to be less attractive than Edinburgh, Los Angeles, or Omaha. *But, you needn't be concerned; you have plenty of folks waiting in trucks at Calais. *I am sure they will be able to install and maintain software at your companies, financial institutions, etc. That sort of work for British companies is now normally done in Mumbai or Bangalore. *They're a lot cheaper than Edinburgh, Los Angeles, or Omaha. Last year, I was doing an assignment with a large services company which is, as they say, headquartered in the USA. They had identified a number of low (or lower) cost locations, some of which were *inside* the US. From memory, the Carolinas was one - not all of the country is prosperous. I suspect Omaha isn't exactly bank breakingly expensive either. Probably not, even though Warren Buffet, one of the world's richest men lives there. For one year I worked in Omaha doing a major reconfiguration of an accounting package. I found a very inexpensive apartment ten minutes walk from my client's campus. My rate was slightly lower than my previous assignment which had been in the San Francisco Bay area. However, because my costs were much lower it was an entirely more profitable venture. Moreover, the folks living in Douglas County, Nebraska where, by and large, very friendly. The work environment was more than pleasant. An unexpected bonus was a British Restaurant in nearby Belleview, NE. Omaha is also home of the headquarters of the Union Pacific Railroad. The town has much of railway interest. It is also Gerald Ford’s birthplace. My goodness: how did you "trip" over that gem?! |
