Networking. Seriously, ask your social network contacts in the countries that interest you. Demand for good developers is high everywhere, odds are there are openings at their companies. Don't just go and browse job offers on random websites, that's inefficient and a lot of good offers are not there anyway. Another option would be to subscribe to something like https://www.talent.io/ . Or, if you know some, just get…

The head hunters in European countries are particularly good at placing engineers across borders. I have worked with English head hunters placing engineers in Germany.

If you are interested in AI and want to work in an international environment in a startup in Japan, this company (in which I work) is probably your best bet: http://www.reactive.co.jp/home-en We are focused on AI and deep learning, and we are hiring research scientists, research software engineers, devops engineers, etc.

And if you are interested in a soul crushing job with Salesforce.com that pays peanuts, I have positions at Coca-Cola East Japan.

(But yeah, I've used the guys at Reactive and they are great too - nice office as well)

If you're looking for a job in Paris, Lyon, London or Berlin -> https://www.talent.io/

Just signup, get a call with a talent advocate so they know what you're looking for, then you'll receive from 5 to 15 tailored job offers in less than 2 weeks. That's the easiest way around.

I'm curious too. I live in New Zealand. How can I get a software job abroad - say in the United States?

By most accounts you're like in literally the best place on planet earth right now, why would you want to move?

> why would you want to move

Because he's joking and making fun of the fact that the original post presumes everyone lives in America and sees 'Abroad' as elsewhere.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not in all topics. I lived in 3 EU countries so far, and I'm preparing for another changes, probably the last one. I don't care about LGBT issues as it doesn't affect me. I mostly care about living standard, access to nature (parks, reservoirs, sea/mountains), high quality roads for motorcycling and IT infrastructure. Countries I considered: Malta - similar wages as in Poland, but smaller market, housing problem as i…

Seems most of your problems seem to stem from the fact that you are too lazy to learn the language of the country you want to move to. From your offensive tone with regards to the refugees I get the impression you would still be the kind of person to moan about immigrants not speaking english in the US too though, right?! This comment is beyond parody.

>speaking english in the US too though

English* is not my native language, I was taught Germany at school, I lived there it was OK. I wanted to move to the UK, I learnt the language mostly myself. I don't have any more that much time and energy to learn Austrian dialect of German or remind German again. Yea, I'm lazy, but I can communicate in 3 languages.

>This comment is beyond parody.

Agreed, your comment is funny :)
