Depends who you work for, Ireland is full of big name companies, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter..... Not only that there us a tonne of big financials there too... So, there's a wealth of choice.. From what I hear, the Google offices are really something, they have an amazing setup... I live in Belfast, and there isn't the same variety of big tech, but still tonnes of IT jobs If I lived in Dublin, I'd go all out to work at Google, or maybe Twitter..

I'm sure large corporations like Google would suit some people, for everyone else there are plenty of startups hiring in Dublin. Unless you're a sysadmin, I don't think there are a whole lot of jobs going in Ireland at Facebook, Twitter or Amazon.

  I beg to differ : http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/39355/senior-software-engineer-java-scala-ruby-user-twitter?a=LZQ6E0vu http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/39355/senior-software-... Also, you can work from a Dublin base for these companies I am fairly sure. I am just illustrating that there is plenty of opportunities for those who go looking!

    Twitter just aren't really hiring for technology in Dublin. Maybe some of the 100 new jobs promised for next year will change that, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Just to illustrate what I meant about sysadmins being a priority for these companies, look at Facebook's job page: https://www.facebook.com/careers/locations/dublin https://www.facebook.com/careers/locations/dublin And Amazon's (note, it's paginated): https://uk-amazon.icims.com/jobs/search?pr=2&searchLocation=32528--Dublin https://uk-amazon.icims.com/jobs/search?pr=2&searchLocation=... I wasn't telling people not to investigate these companies, just that their isn't a glut of jobs that their size would suggest. There are companies a fraction of the size hiring more developers than the big guys at any given time. I'm sure you can sometimes work from a Dublin base for these companies, I'm also sure that would be an exception to the norm. If you're a sysadmin by trade or want to be (a minority here I think), you could do far worse than apply to Google, Facebook or Amazon.
