- ricardobeat 14y agoWell, in the largest cities of Brazil you can get 100mb internet for US$150, rent a good house for US$1000 (or an apartment for $500), and hire great talent for ~$2-3k/month; they all have active startup and developer scenes. As a bonus you get access to a booming mobile market :)
- wesgarrison 14y agoSerious question: what would it take for a US citizen to move to Brazil and work there? I don't have any idea about the visa intricacies.
- TheEzEzz 14y agoSurprisingly restrictive, as (last I recall) Brazil has a tit-for-tat policy against the US: restrictions the US puts on Brazilians coming to the US Brazil likewise imposes on Americans going to Brazil. You can, however, buy citizenship for $100,000 (At least I recall researching this. I can't find a reference for at the moment).
- ricardobeat 14y ago1. A $50k investment 2. A job or research position 3. Marry a brazilian :) 4. Be over 60 and with +$2000/month income And there are no immigration quotas. A foreign developer will probably find a job very easily, but be prepared to live on 50% less.
- swah 14y agoI'm offering to switch places with you. There are no Apple stores nor Amazon here. We have sugar Coke though...
- ricardobeat 14y agoWe do have Apple franchises, and Amazon is coming this year (reportedly) :) But we don't have Cherry Coke :(
- sneak 14y agoSame goes for Berlin (where I live), plus our Apple store opens in a few months, we will be a Lufthansa hub shortly, and Amazon works well here. There are also tons of hackers and startup events here!
