It sounds like it's time to change jobs. If you don't care much about the money but want to keep learning new things and to be challenged, and would like to with on something that could have a big impact on the world, an ambitious startup should be perfect for you - if you are behind its mission of course.

London has lots of startup jobs that are likely to appeal to you. That said most people I know that lived in London did not stay long. I work in Amsterdam and this city has a lot of great and ambitious startups too, plus everyone here speaks English very well. If you're considering to move, feel free to email me. I'm sure I can help you if you're open to emigrating.

I am open to emigrating, I don't care where I live pretty much. I emigrated to UK for a better education also, I am not a native here.

What are the best places to search for them?

I think so too. And I have some savings to survive for about 8 months.

In the meantime work on something you enjoy and can point to as a portfolio piece. Go to meetups and try and give a talk about something you care about.

I was in the same position as you -- working at a boring job and looking for something more interesting. I moved to London and did contracting for a few years. Although you can still end up with boring jobs, at least you get to change jobs more often, and you get paid a lot more. jobserve.com is a good place to find contract jobs. There's also a lot of permanent jobs at startups listed on jobserve.
