I'm a mobile software engineer with 10+ years in the industry
Basically every country wants software engineers so youre gonna be limited by language.
new zealand; i was a software engineer up until a few weeks ago and did some homework on where i could move a couple years back.
they'll "fast track" you to permanent residency status in 4 years instead of 10 (you'll need more time to become a citizen) and they'll want you to take tests to prove that you're capable.
spanish is the easiest language to learn for english speakers and spain will do it in 2 years with no tests; only proof that you worked as a sofware engineer (you can get eu citizenship after that) and they don't care if you know how to speak spanish or not, but they will test you and make you take spanish language courses if you can't.
Depends, New Zeland bans atleast people with Autism if not others from immigrating
I googled this because I was curious, and it doesn't look like they have a blanket ban on people with autism. It seems they only exclude people who need expensive care.
(Not defending this policy, ofc. Just trying to get the facts right)

I would of course check with an immigration lawyer before committing to a plan to move, though.
i didn't see that one, but i wouldn't doubt it since it and canada seem to be very picky about who they'll let in; it makes me wonder about what will happen to the vast majority of people who say that canada's their exit plan when the united states goes full fascist.
I in 2018 Canada finaly allowed Autistic individuals in, however if you go they have an amount of money that you can pull from the heathcare system cap, and if you exceede that they will not renew the visa.
Oddly though that is not the worst problem with Canada, the worst problem is that they have declared the Unites States a "Safe Country" so they will not consider any assylum claims from Americans
you can get a swastika tattoo and then canada will definitely let you in
so you're saying that i don't need to be a nazi veteran?
that's too bad, because i too want to be publicly applauded by canada's government as a hero for standing against russian agression. lol
Dutch and German are way easier for English speakers to learn than Spanish.
It's very surprising to hear that; both languages are unintelligible to me whereas you can understand about a third of Spanish without knowing how to speak it.
That might be from cultural reasons more than linguistic ones. Especially if you live in the US especially the Southwest.
I bet it's the accents of English and Spanish that we speak in North America since they both stress consonants and the vowels are recognizable to each other; European Spanish is also difficult to understand.
