My mother-in-law was a doctor and now she's a cardiovascular technologist. (She didn't want to redo her residency)! My father-in-law was a mechanical engineer, still a mech-e.
Moved to Canada to do Masters (with the hope of getting PR eventually). started working at gas stations and now i am working at one of big four :) I am happy.
Moved to Europe from India.

Was a software engineer 3 years ago. I am now an engineering manager making pretty good money and having a good work life balance. Also, less cut throat competition and I do not feel being in the rat race all the time.

Awesome! I am in the same boat, currently i am in India but I have been applying to European companies for the past few days , hoping for one of them to convert.

What countries do you think have a stable tech scene ? Also how did you find a job easily - was it by applying online or networking ? Also have a look at my profile and let me know if i stand a chance.
