Hey Everyone!

I have been working with server engineering and administration on high-demand environments for almost 6 years now - and I'm happy with my job, but not with the place where I live. I'm in Brazil, and I wish to move to somewhere else, preferably Europe (but I'm considering oher places). I have a decent english and a good german, and obviously native portuguese.

Now, what do you think that would be the best way to go? Sending resumes from here, traveling to another country and visiting some companies, try to join a big international company and hope for expatriation?

Thank you!

Do some research on where your skills or interests are concentrated, then visit/vacation in some of those places.

At the same time, research requirements for working immigration in the places you would want to move to.

About the immigration, I filed for a german citizenship. I don't know if it is going to be accepted, but with the documentation I've sent this is hard not to succeed.

And I will visit some places on my next vacations.. but I'm not sure about the reception I'm going to have. Any tips on where to go / how to contact the companies?
