Ireland might be an option, I remember 8 years back it was quite booming there, what is it like now?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 1 out nowLoads of programming jobs. Some crazies invested $30million into an Irish "social networking" this week so they will be hiring. Microsoft, Google, Oracle etc. are all in Dublin and hiring. Facebook might be here soon too (not that I'd want a job with them.) Manufacturing and construction jobs are tanking though. Thankfully you, nor I, are brick layers.

Is this immediate, or do you have a little time before it happens?
Standard 1 month notice plus standard severence pay as described by the South African labour law.

What is the job climate like where you live?
Pretty good I think, as we couldnt even find a decent person to employ for the last 9 months. That is part of the reason of the shutdown, the lack of expanding our resource capabilities. The standard of people that we did interview, was so poor, I would reckon it would not be too hard finding something new. :)

If I didn't have to sell a kidney for a house down payment, I'd be interested in returning to ol' blighty. My sister's two bedroom flat cost twice as much as my three bedroom house, detached with two car garage naturally, being the midwest. Something is just wrong there.
I'm largely language agnostic
After a while they all bug me :doh:

Heh, so true. I have a 4 bedroom house on 1.5 acres of land and my family thinks I'm absolutely loaded with money. It's not that I'm loaded (far from it!) it's just that your money can actually buy things in America.

A what? Reputable employment aggggeee... ah jeez, I just can't say that without dying from laughter. ;) I got my job through a friend and we don't use employment agencies to hire new slaves. irishjobs.ie[^] is supposed to be a decent job site here. Not really used it myself though. I'll ask around and see who others have used.

If you really want to blow their minds send them real estate links from somewhere way out in the boonies where a decent older house and a few dozen acres of land can go for $50kish. :laugh:
