Nope, this would be to move to London. I'm in the nice position where I can afford to move/live there, and since most top companies are limited to London it makes sense to go there if I want to maximise my earnings.

So, this would be a developer with ten years experience looking for essentially "any" developer role in London. Easy, right? Apparently not. In the time it's taken me to reply to these messages I've had another rejection from JPMorgan Chase...

As an aside, I've done the commute from Bristol to London a few times for work, and while there are people that do it every day it's a killer, and you'd be lucky to get from Bristol Temple Meads to Liverpool Street at 9am if you get the first train in.
