I was unable to find which course it was this time. Although I suspect it was something along those lines again.

There was a similar scandal in 2012 - here's my favorite commentary on that:

Loved the quiz:) Finished it, even though it's the first time i've ever heard about puppet.

Tears in my eyes after reading this, seeing the "What it is is beautiful" commercial and remembering. Everything.

Looks lovely:) Interested in seeing what's next, two thumbs up!

I'm also a 'Junior Developer'(around 2yr) and am currently in the phase where I have started to see the faults in the systems my seniors design. There's a module that's driving me nuts, and I'm still pondering on how to tell the senior developer(who wrote it) that it's crap, over engineered and too specific. The module works to an extent, but I can see problems up ahead if the module doesn't get fixed or an alternative is created.

I already knew most of the things described, but it's always nice to refresh your memory:)

In this stage of my career I'm thinking more and more about going somewhere where software engineers get paid what they are worth (And I'm beggining to realize I'm worth something). With "somewhere" I mean another country. Since mine is becoming increasingly unfriendly to live in.

Any suggestions/advice on how to successfully relocate to a job in another country? US or UK come to mind, since there's no language barrier for me there.

This all depends on where you're from. US is easier for Canadians, UK easier for Australians, for example.

For non-commonwealth/non-EU residents, the UK has gotten very difficult since 2008 for people who are unable to get an employer sponsored visa. Even to the point of doing away with both the post-study visa and the Tier 1 general.

UK salaries also can vary drastically depending on where you live (and not necessarily in tune with cost of living differences). We're also on our way out of the economic mess, so salaries are going to be depressed anyway in general as companies hire on, but use the economic mess as a reason to give lower salaries.

I'm from Slovenia, EU resident.

Then the UK should be relatively easier for you, since you should be able to apply for the same jobs as a UK citizen, I think?

Beyond that, I'd say google. There should be a number of forums or immigration sites offering advice for EU residents that would like to work in another EU country. (I'm American, so I consider you lucky in the visa world ;) )

Could also look at the Republic of Ireland?

Companies are increasingly opening up to the possibility of hiring remotely. It is a huge step forwards for any company to take but sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks so it happens [1].

I've been working remotely for about a year. We have a 10hr difference, talk almost every day, and its been great. It's a small company, only two devs, and we all care a lot about the work we do and the products we release.

So, don't limit your search for jobs where relocation is feasible - look for telecommute/remote jobs as well.

[1] The main barriers to overcome are trust and communication. Both parties need to really trust each other (one will do the work, the other will pay) and they need to have open and honest discussions. At the end of the day the job needs to get done and the fact that there's no direct face to face interaction between the people involved needs not to be an issue.

I'm German. I have been living and working in Cambridge, UK, for three years for my first job, and just moved to Singapore to start my second one. Feel free to ask me more specific questions, either here or send an email. (Address is in the profile.)

In southern europe that'd actually be a fair offer.
