Since February 2025, our founder, Andrew, has handpicked over 1,500 tech job opps with relocation support for The Global Move community on Substack.

Last week, we took time to analyze those relocation-friendly openings – here’s what we found:


📌 Germany leads the way in relocation-friendly job postings for software engineers.

📌 FinTech is the hottest industry – even hotter than AI.

📌 Scale-ups and midsize companies are posting more jobs than MAANG.


Out of the 1,500+ job postings, Back-End roles topped the charts with 500+ openings – more than double the next category. Even in a world dominated by AI hype, the need for solid back-end engineering remains undisputed.

That’s great news for experienced engineers whose skills may not be flashy but are absolutely essential.

At the same time, Data & AI roles are holding strong with 350+ openings. Within that group, job titles like Data Engineer, Data Scientist, and Machine Learning Engineer make up the bulk of listings.

It’s also notable that DevOps & Infrastructure roles rank third. This shows that global companies continue to invest in stability and scaling.

How do you know if a company is open to hiring international (tech) talent?

We wrote a short guide with clear signs to look for - plus red flags that usually mean “locals only.”

Here are some tried-and-tested methods to identify international-friendly employers:

1. Start with the simplest filter: the Careers page.
Search for keywords like “visa,” “relocation,” “work permit,” “sponsorship,” or “international applicants.” These signals usually mean the company is open to hiring talent from around the world.

2. Judge by language.
Companies open to global candidates almost always:

- Post job ads in English.
- Say “knowledge of X (local) language is a plus,” rather than making it a requirement

This pattern is true across Europe, Canada, Australia, and most of Asia.

If English appears as the company’s official working language, that’s an even stronger green light.

3. Investigate their team on LinkedIn.
If you see a team made up of people from different nationalities - especially in engineering or product roles - that’s a very good sign.

4. Check official government lists of companies allowed to sponsor visas.
Many countries maintain public databases of employers authorized to hire foreign talent. If your target company appears on one of these lists, that’s as solid a confirmation as you can get.

We’ve built a custom GPT that analyzes and improves tech resumes.

Here’s the link 👉 https://relocateme.substack.com/p/i-built-a-custom-gpt-to-improve-your

Hope it helps someone level up their resume.

Happy Friday, everyone!

FROM REJECTIONS TO RELOCATION

One of the best parts of running our Substack, The Global Move, is hearing from people who found a new role abroad through our handpicked job lists.

We spoke with Mojtaba, who recently relocated to London 🇬🇧 after a long and challenging international job search.

He had been applying for developer roles across Europe for almost two years – hundreds of applications, hundreds of rejections – but he didn’t give up.

In our interview, Mojtaba shares:

- why he decided to relocate
- how he coped with multiple rejections and stayed motivated
- how he approached the job search and what his application strategy was
- what resources and tools he used
- what his strategy was regarding cover letters
- and practical advice based on his job search journey
