I'm sure large corporations like Google would suit some people, for everyone else there are plenty of startups hiring in Dublin.

Unless you're a sysadmin, I don't think there are a whole lot of jobs going in Ireland at Facebook, Twitter or Amazon.

Also, you can work from a Dublin base for these companies I am fairly sure.

I am just illustrating that there is plenty of opportunities for those who go looking!

Twitter just aren't really hiring for technology in Dublin. Maybe some of the 100 new jobs promised for next year will change that, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Just to illustrate what I meant about sysadmins being a priority for these companies, look at Facebook's job page: https://www.facebook.com/careers/locations/dublin

And Amazon's (note, it's paginated): https://uk-amazon.icims.com/jobs/search?pr=2&searchLocation=...

I wasn't telling people not to investigate these companies, just that their isn't a glut of jobs that their size would suggest. There are companies a fraction of the size hiring more developers than the big guys at any given time.

I'm sure you can sometimes work from a Dublin base for these companies, I'm also sure that would be an exception to the norm.

If you're a sysadmin by trade or want to be (a minority here I think), you could do far worse than apply to Google, Facebook or Amazon.
