Ask HN: Any good resources for finding software jobs abroad?

Any specific country ? Even though there is huge shortage for skilled IT labor in USA, you have a better chance of finding another job in Australia / New Zealand region.

I recently made the move (US->UK) and am happy to give people advice. My email is in my profile.

Would you be willing to write a general post on it? I don't agree or disagree with the idea of emigrating due to the election but it would be engaging to read - I don't see much stuff from people moving that direction.

I recruit in Japan and we use DaiJob, Indeed, and GaijinPot. There are also quite a few on linkedIn (they seem to pay a lot better as well)

Is the cultural difference between the United States' more cutthroat form of employment and the "salaryman" idea in Japan an issue in the transition? Does it apply to our industry?

The country you currently live in defines what this "Abroad" is. At least specify if you're American or non-American.

Are there any country outside U.S. that pay more for software job? I've looked before, but I didn't find any, so you'll have to figure out a way to quantify quality of live improvement in dollar figures.
