Sorry, this is a little off topic but I'm curious, what's the startup/tech world like in Russia? My wife's Russian and I'd love to live there, I just get the feeling the job market for engineers isn't that great.


Hmm.. Our servers are around the world. Our team is distributed around the world. There is 21 century now and from my opinion tech startups now are focused globally. Thx to the internet and another technologies. You don't need to be in Europe to create cloud in Europe. And you can always jump to the airplane and be anywhere in a day. But there is a big plus - here we have great engineers and low cost ecosystem to live and make great things.


Bloomberg's Hello World just did a fairly good* episode titled: "How to build a sovereign tech empire: Russian Edition": https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-hello-world-russia/?...

* from the perspective of an outsider who doesn't live there, so my "fairly good" estimate might be total horsehockey.
