Ask HN: Any good resources for finding software jobs abroad?
Just wondering. No real reason to ask. (Completely serious question, however)
- Lexandrit 10y agoLook through this article http://relocateme.eu/blog/life-hacks-for-software-developers-how-to-find-a-job-with-relocation-to-europe/ http://relocateme.eu/blog/life-hacks-for-software-developers.... I find it really helpful. It's like a special resource guide for job relocation to Europe (where and how to look for).
- afarrell 10y agoI recently made the move (US->UK) and am happy to give people advice. My email is in my profile.
- jakebasile 10y agoWould you be willing to write a general post on it? I don't agree or disagree with the idea of emigrating due to the election but it would be engaging to read - I don't see much stuff from people moving that direction.
- afarrell 10y agoI've currently got a draft of it 1/3rd done. But I am better at talking and answering questions than at writing.
- jakebasile 10y agoWell if you ever finish it, please be sure to post it here!
- du_bing 10y agoWrite you an email, hoping for some advice, thanks, afarrell.

- mattnumbe 10y agoI recruit in Japan and we use DaiJob, Indeed, and GaijinPot. There are also quite a few on linkedIn (they seem to pay a lot better as well)
- jakebasile 10y agoIs the cultural difference between the United States' more cutthroat form of employment and the "salaryman" idea in Japan an issue in the transition? Does it apply to our industry?
- mattnumbe 10y agoI'd say its in transition on the whole, but especially in IT. Massive companies like Sony, Toyota, Nissan, etc. still have a lifetime employment structure, but once you get hired to any company here, it's still real hard to get fired. Answering your question would really take a small essay because the answer is yes and no for SO many reasons. EDIT: I think I misread your question the first time. It can be difficult mostly because firms here are used to having employees who are generalists, work in every part of the company through the years, and become upper management who have a much needed knowledge of the whole company. In the west in general, we focus on one area and change companies to grow our skills in that field. This is a problem because its really hard to change companies in Japan and Japanese employers often want you to learn new skills to work in different areas of the company. In short, it's difficult to become a specialist in Japan without sacrifice (usually salary). But there are many new technology companies that are trying to change that pattern.
- zerr 10y agoSo even if I take my full 30 days (or whatever it is) of vacations. Be in the office only 9-5 and encouraging co-workers to do the same, to get a life, etc... I still won't be fired? :)
- mattnumbe 10y agoAlso a difficult question. Getting fired is possible here, but there are major repercussions for the business. If your hours were 9-5 and you had 30 days of vacation time you could take a year, no one would say anything if you did what are your rights as an employee. But if someone asks you to stay late and you don't have a good excuse, or if you take vacation days during times that are known to be busy periods, the repercussions are much more social rather than financial. The office gets dark, and they might move your desk into an undesirable area (they used to call it the window seat for some very grim reasons). There are worse things than getting fired. But, also because of this system, if you do lose your job, it's extremely difficult to get another one.

- rtpg 10y agoyou probably won't find a better way than in the US to get a lot of money. But it's possible to be a software engineer with a good salary abroad. If you're looking at maximizing dollars, it's hard. But no amount of salary in the Bay Area will give you decent public transit.

- jakee 10y agoCompared to the Bay Area you'll pay 1/2-1/4th of the rent/mortgage and soon 1 EUR will be 2 USD, so I'd say it might not be so clear cut. Add in cheaper childcare and medical expenses. Also California taxes might actually be higher than German taxes (or at least in the same ballpark).
- bogomipz 10y ago"Compared to the Bay Area you'll pay 1/2-1/4th of the rent/mortgage and soon 1 EUR will be 2 USD" 1 Euro is currently ~ $1.10 US. Are you being facetious? I agree with you on everything else though. Everything in Berlin seems reasonably priced. And it seems like a good quality of life there for a city. People seem pretty relaxed.

- Sanddancer 10y agoFrom the depths of my heart, Fuck You. There are millions of us out there who can't leave. People of color, disabled people, co-workers, friends, family, loved ones. Leaving is failure. Leaving is cowardice. Leaving is making sure that those millions of people who aren't as privileged as you have even less of a chance to fix things. Do you really want your legacy to have been abandoning the US? Or do you want to actually try to fix something? This country is worth saving.

- jrockway 10y agoYou still have to pay for Trump's wall. For me, it's not worth moving. I was born here, and as a result I'm somewhat responsible for the actions my country takes as a whole. Moving doesn't change that. The grass looks greener on the other side, but other countries aren't really doing that well with human rights, LGBT issues, affordable housing, or constitutionally-protected free speech. No matter where you move, you're trading one bag of shit for another. It's weird.
- kevinofe 10y agoIt is true that unless you are only in USA for 30 days of the year, you will still have to pay income tax in USA. I've been in Asia this year, working as remote freelancer and because I had to come back for about 6 weeks to deal with some business stuff, I won't be able to claim the foreign income tax excludion. I'll also have to pay the ACA penalty (still cheaper) because I cancelled my health insurance after leaving USA. But living in Asia has been a great experience and I would recommend it. However, time zones between here and west coast are weird. I'm either waking up at 5am or staying up til 12am if I have to do a call.
- jakebasile 10y agoI'm mostly just curious. There is a lot written about immigration to the US but not too much about emigration from it. I agree that moving away doesn't really solve the problem and that despite our flaws I believe we have an advantage in many respects. Democracy isn't perfect, and sometimes it means you lose. It means you need to talk to people who disagree with you and persuade them, and I think this cycle shows that the left hasn't been doing too well on that front.
- jrockway 10y agoYeah, democracy seemed to work OK. The average american wants it to be illegal to not be a God-loving hetereosexual white man. And they elected someone who will make sure that laws get passed to move the country in that direction. The problem in this case is that that's terrible.
- sean_patel 10y agoI found a couple that seem ok. They let you filter by country and job type. http://jobs.goabroad.com/ http://jobs.goabroad.com/ http://www.overseasjobs.com/ http://www.overseasjobs.com/
- binoyjohn 10y agoIndeed.com of the specific country is the easiest way to find open positions in your target country. Easy Expat < This site contains international classified advertisements, discussion forums, and job listings for expatriates all over the world.
- erikbye 10y agoNorway: http://m.finn.no/job/fulltime/search.html?occupation=0.23&filters= http://m.finn.no/job/fulltime/search.html?occupation=0.23&fi... 281 java positions, 182 c#, 91 c++ New ones coming in every day. There is a lot of demand here for skilled developers, most positions are not for startups, but established business. Software developer salary is typically lower than in the US, but then again, cost of living (as far as apartment rent goes(in Oslo)) is lower than in SV. C#/Java back-end salary usually range from 600,000 NOK (73 188 dollar, at the low end, not much experience, poor resume) to 1,000,000 NOK (121 980 dollar, senior). The average developer salary in Oslo is at 106k (dollar). National average is 82k, most attractive jobs, and salaries, tend to be in Oslo.
- ayberk 10y agoWhat about the language barrier? Would English be enough?
- erikbye 10y agoAt least in the beginning, and for many companies. International hires is common. There are quite a few offices where English is the official language, as well. You can see that a lot of ads on the site is in English.
- chillax 10y agofor consulting learning norwegian would probably be an advantage.
- erikbye 10y agoIt's implicitly understood that learning a country's official language(s) is an advantage.
- janoc 10y agoIn Scandinavia you could get by with English as a lot of people speak it, but for business dealings you need to learn the local language. If nothing else you will need to communicate with the authorities constantly - immigration/work permit matters, insurances, health care, etc. So don't expect English to carry you far unless you know at least the basics of the local language.

- lifeisstillgood 10y agoIn Europe simply buy a train ticket and go. I am assuming however this is leaving the US for ... not-US locations My suggestion would be to stay where you are, look for remote work opportunities that will give you the ability to losslessly change jobs until you found the work culture that suits. And it also gives you opportunity to get involved in your local or state politics where you can make a genuine difference. Just as Europe has a free-to-move labour force (for now!) the US has strong and increasingly independent States that look more and more like the engines of progressive change. California just approved marijuana for example. Let the countries of the world deal with any changing trade and defence agreements. It's why they have diplomats. NB - I am not meaning to be as patronising as I may be coming across

- retube 10y agoBy most accounts you're like in literally the best place on planet earth right now, why would you want to move?
- mabbo 10y ago> why would you want to move Because he's joking and making fun of the fact that the original post presumes everyone lives in America and sees 'Abroad' as elsewhere.
- lacampbell 10y agoA bit of that, and a bit of pointing out America is probably a better place to live in than most western countries in terms of career and opportunities.
- lacampbell 10y agoAmerica has several advantages: - higher salaries - electronics, groceries, cars etc are all much cheaper - lower rent if you compare towns and cities of similar sizes - world leaders in computing for the past 50 years Have you been to NZ? Why do you think it's so great? Do you like poorly built, overpriced housing, expensive groceries, lower wages and anti-American sentiment?
- tedmiston 10y agoHousing prices vary so radically across states and cities in the US. It can be ~5x going from a mid-size midwestern city to San Francisco or NYC for a 1-bedroom apartment, for example. I think getting paid by an American company but working remotely and living in NZ or Oz might be the holy grail.
- planetjones 10y agoFor EU citizens you could just go on Jobserve.com and find an IT job in the UK or Switzerland (or maybe else where) that interests you and apply. Many jobs will only take people with the right to work, but there may be others who would sponsor a permit from outside the EU.
- chill1 10y agoYou could try freelance work for clients remotely. That would give you a lot of freedom to choose where to live. I am an American living, working (as a freelance programmer) in Czech Republic -- good economy (especially Prague), low crime rate, low cost of living. Happy to answer questions.
- Scea91 10y agoNice to see praise of my city. As a research software engineer I am in the top 1 % percent here so it is definitely a good career choice here. However, the cost of living is skyrocketing now in Prague compared to the rest of the country and our wages. For the cost of my small flat (60 m^2) I could buy two nice big houses in a smaller city just 60 km from here.
- yonibot 10y agoAny advice on landing remote freelance gigs? I assume you don't use lowest-common-denominator sites like eLance.
- chill1 10y agoCorrect, eLance and other similar websites are an absolute waste of time unless you are ok with competing only on price and you have a very low cost of living. * Build a web presence that funnels potential leads to you (blog, portfolio, resume, stackoverflow profile with activity like posting questions/answers, programming/freelance subreddits, github contributions and projects). * Build your personal network via meetups, conferences, etc. * Toptal [1] is the best platform for finding gigs that I've used, but it could be better. It has short-, medium-, and long-term contracts. Not the best possible rates and it's possible to waste some time with interviews, but it's still a lot better than elance and others. * Gun.io [2] is something that looks interesting, but I have never gotten a contract through it. So could be hit or miss. [1] https://www.toptal.com/ https://www.toptal.com/ [2] https://gun.io/ https://gun.io/

It is a great aggregation of sources that is first filtered by geo (also holds remote positions), and then can be filtered deeper on other criteria such as skills/languages or visa-supporting employers. Highly recommended.
- mabbo 10y agoSomeone should post a 'Who is Hiring Outside of America' thread.
- catwell 10y agoNetworking. Seriously, ask your social network contacts in the countries that interest you. Demand for good developers is high everywhere, odds are there are openings at their companies. Don't just go and browse job offers on random websites, that's inefficient and a lot of good offers are not there anyway. Another option would be to subscribe to something like https://www.talent.io/ https://www.talent.io/. Or, if you know some, just get in touch with headhunters in the country. They often have very good offers nobody knows about.
- yitchelle 10y agoThe head hunters in European countries are particularly good at placing engineers across borders. I have worked with English head hunters placing engineers in Germany.

- Teichopsia 10y agoAs a self taught, inexperienced programmer, I hope you don't mind answering a question. Looking through the list of jobs it seems that I could perform the Junior QA. However, since I am probably suffering from imposter syndrome, I'm somewhat unsure. A bit about my background: My interest is in full stack development. I'm comfortable with python, html5 and am currently re-learning CSS, which I have found harder to understand than programming, but I am getting there. My workflow is mostly through the CLI (basic commands) and have some experience with git. I've toyed around with a few languages, racket and js come to mind. I could conclude by asking, if I'm currently not fit for that position, what else would I need to learn?
- jgaxn 10y agoAs a self-taught, formerly inexperienced programmer, my advice to you is to apply. In the early stages of a programming career, you want to try to get a job you're underqualified for. That's where you will grow the most. Don't be scared off by what it says in the job posting. I've never met all the qualifications of any job I've ever gotten.
- Teichopsia 10y agoThanks :)
- kirushik 10y ago"Just apply and let us sort that out" was exactly the advice I was going to give you. Basically: you never know what exactly the team on the other side is looking for. They might try to convey that the best possible way in those 2-3 paragraphs the "Typical Job Description" format allows them, and still fail. Or they might even not try that, because of some weird internal political reasons, or just a lack of job-posting skill, or plain unwillingness to bother. So, consequently, the only reliable way for you to know if they're looking for a person with your skillset or not — is to apply.
- zwetan 10y agoI think the problem is not about finding resources but about culture of the country and their work culture I'm French, long time ago as long as I was looking from France to work in the UK, about 9 out of 10 recruiters ignored me. Once I landed in London and did the same search of jobs, interviews piled on me. I'm not saying you can not find anything from remote and online, just saying it seems much much easier to find something once you are already in the country.
- mikereedell 10y agoSimilar thing happened to me with a much shorter move: central NJ to Philadelphia suburbs. Once I started using an address local to my job search I had no issues getting interviews. Before that was rough and the distance was only 100 miles.
- coolvision 10y agohttps://jobbatical.com/ https://jobbatical.com/ is great, not just for short contracts, i found an amazing permanent job with it.
- themckman 10y agoI was able to find a job rather quickly on berlinstartupjobs.com if you'd like to consider Germany as an option. Germany is a rather good option for working abroad as getting a visa is pretty easy if you have a college degree and make a certain amount of money. They're pretty liberal about handing out something called the EU Blue Card. That's what I had when I was over there. You don't even need to do anything before you get there. All the paperwork happens when you're in the country. The trickiest part of the whole process is making sure you end up at a place when you get there that you can register at with the local government as you have to show your registration confirmation as part of the Blue Card process. If you can get registered and receive mail wherever you stay initially everything is pretty easy.

- lazerwalker 10y agoIf you're upset with the way things seem to be going with US politics, I would urge you to not flee and look for a software engineering job in another country, but rather look for domestic software jobs that will put your skills to good use. Maybe this means civic tech organizations like Code for America that explicitly work on public sector projects. Maybe it means working for a political advocacy group like the EFF, or someone working on privacy-related projects to help protect our civil liberties. Either way, helping improve things domestically seems like a nobler option than running away.
