Hi!

My name is Seung-Hyo and I'm currently a Full Stack Developer at Lumosity.
I'm highly interested in moving to London for work and I'd love to get some leads. I have almost 3 years of experience with Ruby on Rails and 5 years in web development in general. I'm very familiar with CI, TDD, agile, MVC, all that good stuff.

Does anyone work at a startup that's hiring for engineers? As I currently don't have the right to work in London, I will require visa sponsorship.

Here's my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=72811496 and I can provide a much more detailed CV and answer any questions about my prior experience.

This is my first (but not last) post on chat@ and I hope that this isn't a violation of the Code of Conduct.

Thanks!
Seung-Hyo

Good afternoon all.

Apologies in the delay getting the results to you, I had planned to have this up Saturday morning but a busy weekend prevented that.

Thank you to everyone who responded, I think this has given some interesting insights into conditions in London.

Summary:

Of the 112 developers who responded.

The private office and cubicle are dead.
A minority frequently work overtime.
Only 1/4 have quiet working conditions.
Most have a desk in large open plan offices.
Most have a decent size screen.
The vast majority are happy working on their current project.
The average number of years experience is 5.6

Full results available here.

Thanks for the survey results! Interesting, I generally fall into the majority here (I think that's comforting to know).

A gender and background split would be interesting although I guess your main interest was working conditions rather than people.
