Thanks for the kind words. My suggestion, if you're willing to work in the U.S, look for a company that is actually doing FP (Verizon, Comcast, Stripe, some teams at Facebook, some teams at Twitter) and try to work there. Also, programmers are treated much better in the U.S. than they are in Europe from what I understand. Compensation, perks, respect, etc. are all immensely higher. Not as important as working with the right team, but it does help.

Our team is not perfect, we have a lot of the same issues you find at most companies(some good code, some bad, large company red tape, etc.) but, we also have a lot of good things: many people who either know FP or want to learn, good infrastructure support, freedom to innovate, lots of open source, etc.

It's enough of the good stuff that I'm much happier here than I was at my previous job. I don't agree that all coding jobs are the same. Most days I'm working hard but working on fun and interesting problems.
