[Question] Thinking about moving to Estonia to live and work
Dear Estonian amigos,
As the title says, I'm thinking on moving to your country in the next 2~ years maybe. I been reading about your country a lot lately
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonia
- http://www.investinestonia.com/en/investment-guide/coming-to-estonia#section-who-does-not-need-a-visa-to-enter-estonia

and I find it quite attractive, specially that it seems to be a pretty advanced country (technology, economically and human-rights wise). It seems to provide good opportunities for anyone coming from foreign countries with a straight record (no criminal records, valid visa, etc).
I don't want to make this too long, but I would love to hear your opinions about this topic so I'm going to give you a quick background about myself.
- I'm 31 years old
- EDIT: I'm from Uruguay, my mother language is Spanish but I speak and write English fluently.
- My Girlfriend is an EU citizen, we have no kids (and we plan not to have them) and we are going to get married at some point.
- I work in the IT field, I'm a developer, worked as a SysAdmin and DevOps
And here there are some questions...
- How do you feel about foreigners coming to live and work on your country?
- How do you feel about the current state of Estonia, just a general overview about work, economy and people
- Any recommendations about places I should visit first? or people I should talk to?
- Are Estonians OK about speaking English? Or are you conservative about your mother language (i.e you prefer to speak Estonian only)
- Which website would you recommend for renting a house/apartment?
- Jobs: is it too difficult to get one? specially in the technology field, Software development and DevOps.
Cheers! Seb.
