Looking at this selfishly: As an American in my early twenties, how can I land myself a gig in Ireland? I'd love to work/live abroad for a few years.

- mrtron 18y agoTheir work visas are actually rather difficult to get and strict.
- TrevorJ 18y agoThat is unfortunate, I would dearly love to work there.
- randomtask 18y agoActually, just recently a new visa scheme has been announced that would allow people from the US to travel to Ireland and Irish people to travel to the US to work for a year. I'm not sure when it will be available but it seems interesting. The Irish Times did an article on it http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/0919/1221773888183.html http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/0919/122177...
- ido 18y agoI don't know how much these things vary within the EU, but from my own experience coming to Austria, as long as you can find a job in which you earn more than ~34k Eur/year (a bit less that 50k Usd/ year - not very difficult at all to do as a programmer) and have at least a bachelors degree (better a masters), getting a work permit is not that difficult.
