Ask HN: Advice on Relocation as Software Engineer(CA,AU,EU,NZ,Malaysia,Thailand)
Hi HN,
My wife and I are both Software Engineers with 5 years of experience each.We are from Bangladesh. We're considering relocating to one of the following countries: Canada, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, New Zealand, Malaysia, or Thailand. We're seeking advice on navigating the job market and visa processes in these regions.
We've heard that software engineering is in demand in these countries, which might help us secure jobs that offer visa sponsorship. If anyone has experience working in these countries as a software engineer, particularly with securing job offers and visas, we'd love to hear about your experiences. What was the timeline like for you? Were there any specific challenges or tips you found helpful?
Additionally, any insights on settling in, understanding work culture, or other practical tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your advice and insights! Whatever country you choose ... make sure you learn the native language. Even if English is spoken very well as a second language, make the effort. It will be appreciated and it will greatly improve your experience.
