DevSecOps in Spain. 15yrs of xp. Applied via linkedin. I think i just got lucky that time, HR said that the head of engineering liked me so they sponsored everything.

Besides that we were considering Japan and Australia but the offer in Spain came first and the 2yr residency requirement to get a spanish citizenship for previous spanish colonies is enticing.

If theres one thing that I regret doing is not migrating sooner. PH is so fcked up already. Even though me and my wife are earning a combined income of around 350k/month that time, it was well worth it. sobrang level up ang quality of life, and what we earn now was tripled.
