QuoteOriginally posted by: AnthisQuoteOriginally posted by: ThinkDifferentI don't remember having a c++ test. a few brainteasers, questions on stats, math etc.just a word of warning, when it will come to an offer stage - they are cheap.A year ago or so, i had been interviewed by a HH in Athens, on their behalf. A rather typical interview process, nothing demanding. I had been told the location of work would be Cyprus, Brighton or Thessaloniki. Till now, i have never got a formal feedback, so i cant provide any further info. Don't know actually if their plans have been frozen or even canceled. I cant confirm if they are cheap or not and relative to what. But all three aforementioned locations imply lower office space rent relative to London, but definitely not the lowest alternative. Most probably some tax implications too. If this info can signal something...On the other hand, living in Cyprus with London remuneration package sounds like a good deal, not only due to the lower cost of living but also due to the lower taxation. Especially, if you have a free lancer status, income tax rate is something like 10-12% flat.Do they really have offices/roles available in Thessaloniki? This is getting interesting...

AFAIK their only location which can be any interest for you is in Limassol, Cyprus.You were replying to a pretty old comment BTW, a lot can change in that time nowadays.

Its not little thing to be a woman in midlife crisis, and see your ex husband you ve wasted your best years on, to be "revived" by a 23 year old stunning chick. Its called departure from sanity.

My recollection is that that college was either a 6th form crammer or a secretarial school.
