  • Sounds a lot like me! Except I’m further behind on steady state cardio too. I do CrossFit 1-2 times a week, it’s been fun learning olympic lifting for a new challenge. Come to think of it, CrossFit is really good about filling in a lot of the aspects of fitness that traditional powerlifting often ignores. Even the stretching at the beginning of class has been helpful for me, but I also started doing yoga do which was great for mobility.














  • If you were in the US I would guess that during normal times you could find a job that pays $90-100k + benefits.

    It’s not an exact comparison, I’m a front end person with a lot of Drupal experience, probably less php and js experience than you, and my agency pays really well, but I was hired at $108k and earn $118k now, + about 15k in benefits, to give you a rough idea.

    You might be able to find a remote job in the US but it will be tough, the time difference is hard, plus the added expense of employing someone in another country, plus the massive uncertainty around the US economy right now will be challenging. Worth a shot, but I think it’s definitely worth trying to find something better in the UK.
