> Am I right to understand that you ended up hiring elsewhere as a result?
We ended up pausing hiring and I left that business a few months back.
> So your advice would be to live in Singapore, but build a dev team somewhere else in Southeast Asia?
Generally speaking, yes, with the caveat that how much funding you have and your visa may stack the deck in the other direction.
> Any specific events you'd recommend?
I don’t have any specific recurring events in mind, things mostly happen ad hoc, but just start talking to people and see what one-off events are happening. There’s normally things happening at the Google offices, the incubators normally run events, etc.
