I'm a student and I'm thinking about taking a year off from college (a CS degree) and explore the world of startups. US is out of option leaving with some European country. I've heard Germany has a very vibrant software industry. Can you please give a little more information about heading over to Germany?

  Think about Slovenia too... very vibrant start-up community here, English is a standard too.

  Getting to Germany is the easiest when you are a student here. Do you want to think of getting a Master's here ? This i) helps you get here ii) gives you more access to startups who would be hesitant to take the burden of visa processing

I am planning on moving to Germany in the next year. Any resources for finding a job in Berlin?

  I'm actually still new here, but one suggestion I've heard is to directly apply to companies you are interested in. But be prepared to deal with a borderline byzantine visa system, though ... about the only thing I can complain about.

  It depends. What are you looking for? Get yourself a xing.de profile. Headhunters find me there all the time. If you are looking for an iOS or Android job: Apply at Neofonie Mobile, we're hiring :-) From my experience (Lot's of Java backend stuff). A lot of companies in Berlin are looking exactly for Java backend developers. Some are looking for Grails, Rails or Python developers. On the other hand: There are many Hackerspaces and meet ups in Berlin to find like minded people: http://www.c-base.org/ http://www.c-base.org/ (Android Round Table, Lisp, Wifi-Hacking) https://berlin.ccc.de/ https://berlin.ccc.de/ (CCC-Stuff :-)) http://berlinwebweek.de/ http://berlinwebweek.de/ (various stuff, some about business, some about hacking)
