"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" :D -
@okkimus That's where the magic happens...😂

@OnlyBytes @NoMad I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. I don't know that much about migrating here, but some unicorn startups and corporations offer relocation and visa assistance for international hires. For expats, the numbers can go wayyy higher, I believe.

@NoMad the general quality of life, I guess? Living here is stressful with the ridiculous traffic, pollution, generally lacking public services, and the recently arising racism and extremism issues.
Also, though you're paid multiples of the average wage, you can make even more overseas in Singapore or Australia (the average monthly wage here is about US$400, while the minimum wage is about US$250). I have a friend who lives in Singapore and makes US$3700 a month, he can save more than twice my monthly net income. -
@NoMad
Its the same thing in Australia.
There is a shortage of programmers and general IT proficiency here in the workplace. -
@NoMad
And I recently got a job in Sydney quite quickly.
What are you looking for? Maybe I know someone -
@NoMad
Nice.
What do you specialise/enjoy the most?
Can you do embdedded c? Worked with payments gateways? Nodejs/asp/cloud skills?
Do you think of yourself as a frontend/backend or fullstack developer? -
@fyzrn The skills shortage is common across our region (South-East Asia).
There are plenty of jobs, and a shortage of people to fill them. I attend meetups and hackathons to find half of the number of attendees made up of expats. -
@NoMad
Sounds like you can literally just apply for any junior role then. Most places that see you have 1.5 years of experience and still junior would hire you quite quickly. -
!rant, HTML is the toughest
We got a winner here!
That guy should be remembered.

So the interns tried to 3d print a rubberduck and it got stuck mid way.
Guess i have a coding duck no...
I really am grateful to be a software engineer.
Being a software engineer here in my country really is wonderful. We're very short on software engineering and IT professionals, so we could quite easily make 2 to 4, even 5 times average salary, and most of us don't even have to worry about getting fired because we can quite easily get a new job in a matter of weeks.
I'm really, really grateful. And I intend to give back to the community by enabling those without access to formal education in IT to learn a bit about software engineering by sharing my knowledge freely in my blog. I hope I can keep consistent in this. Wish me luck!
