First of all, where did it say in the OP's post that the question has anything to do with the U.S. election? Maybe it does, but that's irrelevant since it was not even hinted at.
He posted this on election night, he's from the US. Is it really that hard to put two and two together?
Definitely harder than putting 2 and -2 together, anyhow.

#134Are 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.
Australia is pretty good if you live in a good spot.
Yet is extremely more expensive in terms of cost of living.
It cheaper to fly to Los Angeles, buy Adobe Suite ( the old one when discs were still around) and arrive back to Australia rather than buying it in Australia.

I think that would work, locking yourself to a certain area of a city just to avoid seeing rest of the city. I would not like that. I didn't like Paris because of that, and that's my final opinion.
I can't pretend to know the whole city but no I am not locked in any particular area. Of course there are shitty parts in the city (and even more just outside of it) but I have not seen any huge change this past year
Not saying it's all that bad, I fully realized I just landed at wrong time in wrong place. It just left the bad taste...
For anyone wondering I was also exaggerating a bit about Malta and Switzerland.

#136You still have to pay for Trump's wall. For me, it's not worth moving. I was born here, and as a result I'm somewhat responsible for the actions my country takes as a whole. Moving doesn't change that. The grass looks greener on the other side, but other countries aren't really doing that well with human rights, LGBT issues, affordable housing, or constitutionally-protected free speech. No matter where you move, you'…
I'm mostly just curious. There is a lot written about immigration to the US but not too much about emigration from it. I agree that moving away doesn't really solve the problem and that despite our flaws I believe we have an advantage in many respects. Democracy isn't perfect, and sometimes it means you lose. It means you need to talk to people who disagree with you and persuade them, and I think this cycle shows tha…
Unlike most countries, the U.S. still taxes non-resident citizens which probably does something to put people off emigrating the US.

Any advice on landing remote freelance gigs? I assume you don't use lowest-common-denominator sites like eLance.
Correct, eLance and other similar websites are an absolute waste of time unless you are ok with competing only on price and you have a very low cost of living. * Build a web presence that funnels potential leads to you (blog, portfolio, resume, stackoverflow profile with activity like posting questions/answers, programming/freelance subreddits, github contributions and projects). * Build your personal network via mee…
I know every path is different for every person, and the things that worked for you might not work for other people, but could you tell us how did you get your first remote freelance client?

#138Norway: http://m.finn.no/job/fulltime/search.html?occupation=0.23&fi... 281 java positions, 182 c#, 91 c++ New ones coming in every day. There is a lot of demand here for skilled developers, most positions are not for startups, but established business. Software developer salary is typically lower than in the US, but then again, cost of living (as far as apartment rent goes(in Oslo)) is lower than in SV. C#/Java back…
I visited Oslo last week, and I have to say that its one of the best cities I have ever been to, people are very welcoming, streets are clean, everything is almost perfect.

#139You could try freelance work for clients remotely. That would give you a lot of freedom to choose where to live. I am an American living, working (as a freelance programmer) in Czech Republic -- good economy (especially Prague), low crime rate, low cost of living. Happy to answer questions.
What kind of visa are you on? Was it hard to get?

Through my personal network (specifically a former colleague of mine).
