I have lived abroad for the past 7 years. Below are ideas that I got from personal experience abroad: - In your home country, find a large company with offices abroad where you want to gom work for them a few years, and monitor internal job offers and apply to get transfered abroad. PRO: good package if succesful. CON: long and low probability of success. - move to the foreign location first, and start your job hunt there, with linkedin, local recruiters and meetup. PRO: more chance to be successful. CON: your jobhpackage might not be as good as with the first method. - teach english abroad. PRO: the easiest way. CON: salary wont be as good (but can still be decent compared to local wages), might be harder if you are not a citizen of an english speaking country (especially to get a visa), and no career prospects.. - find a remote job, setup a company locally, and hire yourself to get the visa. Technically, you will be a consultant to the foreign company. PRO: financially can be really good, in particular if you earn western salary and live in a cheaper country. Also you will be very independent. CON: a lot of setup is required, and it js harder to find a remote job. a variation of this method is to create your own online business. Probably the best setup if you manage to do it. A few other thoughts: - expat contracts are less and less offered - knowing a relevant foreign language is not that helpful. If the company needs someone who can speak the local language, they will prefer to simply hire a local - what is really helpful is to have a unique technical expertise that is hard to find in the country (someone said developer?)
