Consulate-General of Portugal in Goa

Goan, Maria
Goan- I think America may outsource these jobs but are you sure Ireland does the same? I don't think so. No Ireland firm has been keen to hire me whilst in India and recruiters have told me that they want me to be present in Ireland to consider me. Looks like they don't love outsourcing too much to India. Even for remote work, they say that it's remote work within Ireland, as long as you're in their country. About a week or two ago I spoke to an Irish woman who wanted a web dev ASAP (yeah she telephoned me), and she wanted to know when would I come to Ireland. She said that I'd be considered if the dates were certain on when I'd be arriving in Ireland. Of course she was kind enough to tell me to inform her once it's nearing time for me to get there.

I'm not into networking. These days I've been more into back end dev (server side development).

Maria- That's great.

Goan
Seriously? But there are too many vacancies showing in Ireland for web developers… I’m a web developer too.. I was thinking of migrating to Ireland and I worked as a network engineer also

Ireland it jobs
Ezekiel they have jobs in production environment in I. T if you are into web design and developer they outsource those jobs to India or south east Asian countries

Better learn operations networking
Cloud etc oracle

John
Wow, that sounds like good news for me since I'm in the IT sector (front end, back end web dev and web design). Thanks for the insight John. I appreciate it.

Ezekiel and Anthony
As Ezekiel mentioned, Ireland also offers a good option for skilled Goans as Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, Citibank, Pfizer, Dell, Intel and a host of other American companies have their European headquarters in Ireland

They offer very well paying jobs and after a few years experience their salaries are much higher than UK ones. In the UK, you will rarely earn over thirty thousand pounds a year, but in Ireland, you’ll shoot past that after a few years experience. It isn’t uncommon for professionals in Ireland to be on seventy to eighty thousand euros a year.

Unless you’re in the IT sector, Ireland would be the best option for most Goans whether skilled or not

Anthony
By the way, Norway, Sweden and Finland have a high percentage of English knowledge, that doesn't mean that they'd all gladly allow you to get jobs just with English, and you'd find yourself finding it really hard getting around because their signs are in their local languages. In Finland, Finnish and Swedish are important and people usually will talk in their local languages. I had to consider all this when seeing if Finland was a good option for me. Forget about the weather, that's another matter.

Anthony
If you chose the Nordic countries (Scandinavia - Norway included), chances are, if you want a good job, you'll likely be required to learn their languages. At least that's my experience with my research of Finland before making up my mind for Ireland. Norway is not in the EU, but it shouldn't be a problem with getting to stay there permanently. But again, if you don't know Norwegian, you may miss out on getting a good job unless you're really skilled like in IT and are able to join a foreign organization where English is the top.

Again, Ireland is still a better option. Dublin is home to various famous companies like Google etc, and it's where a lot of business takes place.

Anthony
I personally have no interest in living in the UK, but I see that many Goans are still desperate to go there (despite the UK being anti immigrant)

So Ireland would offer them a better option. An Irish passport would once again allow them to move to the UK.

Norway is also English speaking country where majority of them speak English besides their official language. Most of the courses or degrees in Norway or taught and offered in English.

Also Norway has much lower cost of living compared to Eire and possibilities of getting unskilled jobs say in hotels are more. Norway is hotspot for tourism while Ireland is no where in list

Anthony
Norway is a good option, but again only if you’re skilled. As I mentioned before, It depends on your profession. Most Goans will be more comfortable in Ireland since it is an English speaking country.

For unskilled Goans shared rooms are available in Dublin for five hundred euros (I just looked it up on housinganywhere) and Dublin is the most expensive city in Ireland. Assuming they can find regular work, they should earn atleast fifteen hundred euros a month (at the very minimum)

Also, Irish citizens still have free movement in the UK (for the Goans still desperately interested in migrating to Britain). Spend five years in Ireland and you’re eligible for citizenship.
