Engineering careers, local salaries, remote contracts and the teams worth joining.
The conversations members of this Circle are actually reading.
We've outgrown spreadsheets. Requirements: payroll that can handle a USD salary with a declared contribution base, social security exports, leave tracking, and something the team will actually open. Local vendors give us the compliance side; international ones give us the interface. Has anyone found a setup that does both without three integrations?

For us it isn't talent and it isn't the idea. It's banking and getting paid: invoicing clients abroad, moving money in, paying a team partly here and partly outside. We've stitched together a working setup but it took longer than building the product. What's the constraint that actually slows you down day to day?

We can hire a strong senior engineer in an emerging market for what a mid-level costs us in the Gulf. The counter-argument from our investors is retention: the good ones get recruited abroad within two years. My view is that two excellent years beat four average ones, but I'd like to hear from people who've lived through the churn.

Looking for places that actually train you rather than hand you a spreadsheet and disappear. From what I hear, Murex and Bank Audi have real structured programmes, and Toters throws you in but you learn fast. Would love honest experiences — including the ones that looked great and weren't.
