There are tons of companies that use Rails in London. If you have a work visa then it is very easy to find a job. If you need someone who is willing/able to sponsor a visa then it is much more difficult. The company in question needs to show that it is unable to find anyone in the whole of the EU who can fill the role. This is a pretty high standard, but not completely impossible. I'm just on my way to bed and I'm a bit too sleepy to write this well. I just want to set your expectations that you will have a very hard time of it unless you are really exceptional. Before you apply for positions, make sure that you have a good idea of how to sell yourself. You need to have skills that are very rare to acquire, so make sure that you know how to point those out. Having said that, the group I work with (I'm a remote contractor) is looking for people who have one or more of: - top notch technical skills - proven track record of leadership as a senior dev - very solid agile techniques (TDD, pair programming, generative design through refactoring, etc) - very flexible with technology (we use a lot of tools, not just Rails).
