No one wants to swap to Windows 11, even a lot of businesses; it’s that bad.

No worries, you’re not obligated to answer me haha. I’m the lead software engineer on an important fincancial web and desktop app so my focus would be full stack dev with leadership and travel experience. Coming up on ten years experience outside university this year. I’ve done encryption, safe coding practices, and even have my COMPTIA Security+ certification but I wouldn’t say I have cyber security experience specifically.

I check jobs.ie and irishjobs.ie every day, as well as several other sites like ie.indeed and Glassdoor.ie. The best site I’ve found so far, hands down, is visasponsor.jobs; they usually only show positions which specifically mention sponsoring visas. There’s currently only 24 positions showing on their site and I’ve either applied to them or don’t have the skills.

I simply don’t have parents/grandparents to ask about my heritage. I’m quite certain my grandparents lived and died here in the states based on the information I’ve found. Though, 23andme says I ~90% come from London/Dublin area so I suppose it’s not impossible they were born elsewhere and the documents either don’t exist or aren’t accessible to me.

Feel free to dm me, especially if you might recommend me to a position! (or if you just wanna be friends, of course)

I’ve sent emails to fourteen different recruitment agencies based in Ireland, places like:

redchairrecruitment.ie gcsltd.com/ireland randstad.ie

I used erfireland.com to search for recruitment agencies and just went down the list sending emails. The only one to respond was red chair and they essentially said “you’re in the US so you’re fucked, glhf”.

If you know of one (or twenty) I could try, please do send them my way!

We desperately want out of the US so I’ve been trying to find a tech job in Ireland since 2024. I’ve had one interview in that time… how did you do it?

I remember having to look up the format rules to do exactly this when I first tried Mint. Astonished it’s not one of the default options.

Replying to ping you about finding the source. See my reply just below.

I found them. Based Binkie. They have a BlueSky but this post wasn’t on it so here’s their xitter: https://x.com/basedbinkie/status/2020876384898576703

If infinity exists, you’ll eventually experience every life you’ve ever imagined and many more you can’t.

Probably because in the US tap water isn’t free. If you don’t pay your water bill they cut your service with a digital valve in your yard.

This might sound silly but I never thought to search specifically for positions offering visas. I always thought the visa would be ancillary to the job. But would you look at that, there are positions specifically for filling visa vacancies to which I can apply!

You’ve given me hope anew, thank you!

Thanks for sharing what you have, though.

If I may, could I ask how you went about finding a sponsor?

Thanks for sharing. I’m trying to acquire a critical skills work permit myself; I just need a company to sponsor me but I’m ~80 applications in with no responses yet.

What gave you the opportunity to move?
