Easy money...£200k/yr job in electronics?
Johnny10:
"They will then give us the innovation funding that we need to live"
I don't understand?
Who would be writing your paycheck every week?
That's all you need to know.
If you are paying yourself until money starts to come from an unknown source at an unknown time than that is not a job.

(1) Money doesn't grow on TREEZ's, £200k/yr sounds like nonsense and/or a scam.
(2) Does TREEZ's stand for:
TRolling
EEvblogerZ's
Some/All of the time ?
(3) Saying stuff like..

There is fear that we could contract coronavirus…..or even that the British government will in future ban travel to China….but we believe that COVID19 will blow over…and has already been totally eradicated in China(?)…China is now the world’s safest place for COVID19(?)...and the chinese markets where livestock are slaughtered on site and result in virus spread will simply close now?
What do you think?
Should I take the job?

Would seem to be further evidence of trolling attempts.

That is very TREEZonous.
Is your spelling of "Brish" a freudian slip, i.e. a sign of something ?
Maybe, that you are trying to troll us ?

Thanks...that...is the modus operandi of a massive number of UK electronics co's, as well as many in the Western world.
Nobody does anything about it.

If a company, can buy perfectly good components (not made in the UK, e.g. China), that meet their specifications, and are basically reliable and durable. At considerable cost savings. Then that is typically where companies will source their components from.
It has been like that for hundreds of years.
E.g. The Raspberry PI 4, is designed and manufactured in the UK (if I remember/understand correctly), and costs around £35 retail.
Presumably (some of its parts are from China), but if ALL of its parts had to come from the UK only.
It would probably be considerably more expensive, and significantly worse.
E.g. Because the best UK manufactured microprocessor/microcontroller chips (if there are still any), would probably be significantly slower and more expensive, than the one they currently use.
(Although ironically, because it is ultimately an 'Arm' based cpu, it is basically 'British' designed, although some other countries are also involved).
I'm not sure of the latest/last/best 'pure' UK manufactured cpu.
Perhaps it is the Inmos Transputer cpus ?
From a very long time ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transputer
tl;dr
Would people prefer a powerful/useful £35, somewhat UK/British Raspberry PI 4 ?
Or would they buy a £150 (guesstimate), pure UK manufactured, 8 bit, 1 MHz cpu, 4K Ram version ?
(Call it the RaspberryZX82).
Which is 0.00000000000000000001 times faster, has 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001 times more Ram.
A hex keypad, so you can type in the monitor every time you boot it up, as it has no (UK availability) for ROM flash storage .
Uses 10 times more power.
And runs, the latest version of Linux, Interpreted Basic, hand assembled machine code.

Has that company already mentioned the £20k consulting fee you have to pay to get the job? ;D
