I would say you'll do fine. To start out, you might have to do what Dubliners call, "Nixers". That is to say, a cash in hand payment for a small touchup sort of job. Dublin has a pretty fertile tech ground and if you honestly and truely try to give more than half a shit, you'll do well enough when you meet enough people.

Definitely check the viability for legally having a job in Ireland as a Brazilian. I've met many Brazilians in Dublin, it does seem a popular destination. All very young too. Only tonight I was at a design talk and godblessthem, the only post to that Facebook event page was a very optimistic guy saying Hi and hoping to meet people at it.

No idea of your background. Is your girlfriend from the continent? Don't mind rand0mized too much. While his comments on transport infrastructure and housing costs are more than true, his ideaz about scammers and arrogance is most likely a communication breakdown of a thing called the craic ;)

Give us a shout if you move here and need a hand with anything. Best of luck!

She's actually from the UK, we considered trying there as well but Dublin seems to have a better technology scene (don't know for sure if that's the case, but it's what it seems from here!). Thank you for the input, I really appreciate it. :)
