If you’re an American developer looking to move abroad, a much better plan would be to first pick up a remote gig with an American company, and then move overseas. Your take home pay will be easily triple what you can negotiate from a European company.<p>This site takes the opposite approach of finding positions at EU shops that will handle relocation and visas. That certainly helps get you situated, but they’ll likely expect a long term commitment. And long term, you’ll leave a ton of money on the table.<p>I expect that’s why the jobs listed on this site don’t reveal salaries. It would kinda take the wind out of the idea if they had to tell you that none of these jobs pay more than $50k.<p>Ps. Still go through! It’s really nice over here. Just make sure you get the best deal for yourself.

Been looking for a country where I can seek permanent residence status (and maybe, later, citizenship) with my family <i>without</i> having to give up my 1099 (contractor) US remote job and find something local (no, I'm not trying to dodge taxes, and I'd fully expect to pay normal taxes on that income for wherever I ended up). Coming from the US (all of us are native-born citizens).<p>It's been tricky. I get why there's not some kind of policy or program in place, since that's a pretty niche circumstance, but I don't see how it wouldn't be a good thing for whichever country I'd end up in. I don't make SV-bucks but I make more than I'd easily be able to in, say, Canada, and I'd be spending that money and paying taxes in the new country (I'm not at a level of income where I'd get double-taxed by the US, though I'd have to file there). At the same time, having to job-hunt and probably take a pay cut to find a job before we even move would suck, since I <i>already</i> have a job I like, that's fully remote.<p>Anyone got any helpful info on that situation, that I may not have come across elsewhere?
It would be nice to see more details about salaries. Its hard enough to know pay rates in your own city. I have no idea if Finland pays enough to make it worth it.<p>Language is a big issue too, are they all English speaking offices?

Cool project! I'd be interested in relocating to Singapore, but there's only one position listed (and that position provides no relocation package info). I'm sure the slim pickings can be explained by covid, but what did offerings look like before the health crisis? Do you have snapshots or stats on how many you've assisted in relocation?
No offense but why are there still platforms where devs apply to companies? How can this work when you have significant more demand than supply?<p>Bonus question: Why relocate in times where even FAANG heavily hires remote people to the same conditions as their local staff?
I've been thinking of relocating for a while, but also feel a sort of guilt about it. I must admit that the main reason for my doing it is that I feel increasingly disillusioned with the United States, where the paths of both the "left" and the "right" seem equally disappointing. There is a deep sense of social malaise that I feel, while here, and I cannot help but attribute it to that form of neoliberalism that is spreading across the world. And so I feel that my migration would be not so different than the spread of a pestilence of sorts, infecting what I hope will save me.<p>I am reminded of Society of the Spectacle, specifically thesis 165.<p>165 Capitalist production has unified space, breaking down the boundaries between one society
and the next. This unification is at the same time an extensive and intensive process of banalization.
Just as the accumulation of commodities mass-produced for the abstract space of the market
shattered all regional and legal barriers and all the Medieval corporative restrictions that maintained
the quality of craft production, it also undermined the autonomy and quality of places. This
homogenizing power is the heavy artillery that has battered down all the walls of China.
I would curious if anyone has heard of any relocation activity to the EU happening during the last year given the Covid situation and restrictions. It looks like there's a fair amount of posts for Germany and the Netherland for instance.
It's a job board. Am I missing anything?<p>It gives you tips but not without taking your name and email. It also has a cookie notice that doesn't let you decline.
