I recently spent some time visiting friends in France with my family. On our return, me and my wife spent some time seriously discussing whether or not we can move out there.

So some background - I'm a polyglot developer in Financial Services with 2 young children (Can anyone recommend websites or other resources where I can find jobs out there? Any other tips you could give me?

Hi,

You can find some jobs here : lesjeudis.com - chooseyourboss.com

Main dev languages in France are C# and java. If you master one of this, you can easily find a job.

Are you looking for a specific place in France ?

ps : sorry for my poor english, it's not my native language

Marseille/Provence would be nice, and yes - I am mainly a Java developer but with some heavy C++ and a little Go. Mostly backend.

You can take a look near Antibes. There is a technopole with a lot of IT companies.

I passed few month ago a interview for a company called Supralog located near Antibes. They looking for java ressources to work on customer's project. They offered me a place as recipient to work on Air France's project. But I'm actually living in Nantes and have to decline the offer cause of the location.

Overall, there is more jobs in France than ressources.

ps : my company is also looking for new collaborators in Nantes area.
