December Book Club: 『I'm a Developer, Living in London』 (개발자인데요, 런던 살아요)
For December's book club we're reading 『I'm a Developer, Living in London』, which captures a Korean developer's journey starting a new career and life in London. The author, who was facing a slump and wanting change, moved to the UK, took a job at a local IT company, and the book is an essay-style account of daily life and growth there. It resonates with anyone wrestling with similar questions, interested in an overseas career, or just thinking about the direction of their own life.
👥 Recommended for
- Developers thinking about post-slump career changes, working abroad, or emigration
- Office workers interested in the realities and culture of the IT industry
- Anyone wanting to adapt to and grow in a new country
- Anyone who needs "change" or "challenge" in their life
✏️ No pressure! You don't have to finish the book. Just bring a few things for the conversation:
- A relaxed, open mind
- Memorable passages you'd like to share after reading
- Stories, experiences, and interests you'd like to talk about
