It's a chain of events that started ~7 years ago that lead to me joining this company in early 2015.
Around the year 2009, I helped some random person on the internet to setup a wordpress blog. We stayed a bit in contact, got some freelance work because of recommendations from her but that's about it. In late 2013, she asked me if I can help with a little project, sure. Other guy was working on it too, we stayed in touch.
He, my new friend, kept trying to convince me to join the company he's working for, but at the time I was living in England and the company was based in Lithuania (I'm a Lithuanian) and I loved Manchester too much to leave.
Time went by, and in late 2014 I started to look for a new job. The same friend asked me whether I'd consider joining the same company now (meaning moving across Europe), I thought ok, I will chat with them, nothing to lose.
It seemed like a good company to work for, interesting new challenges. After thinking for a couple of weeks and working remotely for a couple of months (temporary agreement, probation period kind of), I bought a one way to ticket Lithuania. Never regretted. Although still the amount of luck and all involved in this is still mind blowing. If I wasn't browsing that forum that night a few years ago, I wouldn't be where I am now.
