Hi all,

I'm moving from Manchester to London for the first time and was wondering if any of you had any thoughts on living in Finchley Central vs St John's Wood?

- The studio in Finchley Central is a spacious new-build priced at 1450/month, but I'm very conscious there isn't much to do on weekends and I'm in the office 5 days/week and at Zone 4, that's er, a lot of tube fares unless I take a 1 hour bus😅 I'm based near Tottenham Court Road.

- The studio in SJW is a bit more central, it's next to social housing but that shouldn't be much of an issue, with a separate kitchen, but it's a lot older/dirtier/lots of dust all over the room and the freezer is fully frosted over. The estate agent said it'll be professionally cleaned, and it's 1500/month.

Any thoughts are very welcome! It's basically a trade off between location and feel but I have no idea which to actually go ahead with :(

I’m interested in hearing from people who have moved into roles like the above,, and understanding your thoughts on the following -

- Does the title actually reflect what you do day-to-day, or is it mostly a rebrand of an existing role?

- Has your work become more systems/data/automation-focused over time?

- Has it affected how your role is perceived internally (e.g. status, credibility, pay, reporting lines)?

- Do you feel like the title “engineer” signals something specific to employers now?

Also very happy to hear from people who don’t have “engineer” in the title but feel their role has become more technical/system-oriented. I won't be quoting anyone directly without permission, but if you'd be open to sharing any thoughts, please feel free to do so below or ask any questions. Thank you in advance!
