5 good reasons to expatriate when you are a software developer.
The technologies are the same from one country to another
The IT developer profession is a considerable asset for expatriates since technological languages are universal (written in English), no matter the technologies used, whether we are in Luxembourg, Japan, or Brazil.Learning a new language
This is surely one of the most important aspects of an adventure abroad and can seem intimidating at first. But what's better than learning a language by practicing it daily in the country? After a few weeks/months, one is able to retain and understand a message.Le developmentpersonnel
Personal development during a long-term move is one of the most important aspects, especially because it allows you to learn about and become interested in new people and cultures. Outside of your comfort zone, many facets of your personality emerge and allow you to learn more about yourself.CV EnrichmentDoing an internship abroad or even moving for a longer period is a real asset for a candidate. This aspect assures the recruiting company that the candidate has a great open-mindedness and adapts easily to new environments.Expand their network
Working abroad means meeting new people, including your colleagues. These new encounters can sometimes be a source of opportunities and know-how.
Join Technology Partner as an expat
Technology Partner has already had several experiences with developers from foreign countries. We collaborated with César, who was an expatriate from Brazil, with Diana, who was an expatriate from Portugal, and finally with Faical, who was an expatriate from Morocco.
Testimonial from Faical
"I joined Technology Partner as a Software Engineer. I had to make an important choiceand since I’had decided to leave my home country, Morocco, where I spent 35 years of my life, and come to live with my small family in Luxembourg. My main professional motivation was to find a work environmentand a team with which I could develop, but at the same time, have the opportunity to implement all my knowledge and experience.
I can attest that Technology Partner understood my wishes, and the team did everything possible to assist me during a rather delicate period: adapting to my new country of residence. On a personal level, I wanted to come to Luxembourg for my children as well. Before coming, I had heard good things about family life in Luxembourg, and within a few months, I've seen my children well-integrated and thriving. After a year, I can say that my choice of Technology Partner was the right one. Its young and dynamic team, combined with a very high level of professionalism, allowed me to prove my worth and feel at home while enjoying all the benefits of life in Luxembourg."
