From India 🇮🇳 to Estonia 🇪🇪
Andrew, our founder, got the chance to talk with Ameya, a subscriber to our Substack The Global Move, who recently relocated to Tallinn for a Senior iOS Engineer role at Bolt.
His path between those two points - India and Estonia - wasn’t particularly straightforward.
In the interview, Ameya shared what his job search actually looked like, what worked and what didn’t, how he approached resumes and cover letters, how he prepared for interviews, how Estonia ended up on his radar, and a lot more in between.

It’s an honest and practical look at what it takes to land a job abroad in 2026, with many useful insights for anyone trying to make a similar move.
Internal mobility. One of the relocation pathways worth keeping in mind in 2026.
It’s more of a long-term play, but still a viable one.
By internal mobility, we mean moving within a company to a different position in a different country.
Of course, not every multinational company is a good fit for this path. Having offices around the world doesn’t necessarily mean employees actually move between them. But there are definitely companies where this happens: EPAM Systems, JetBrains, Amazon, Catawiki... just to name a few.
In our latest piece for The Global Move, we explain how to figure out whether a company is a good “candidate” for an international transfer - before you join.
We also cover the L-1 route to the U.S. and the EU’s Intra-Corporate Transfers framework.
So, if relocating abroad is part of your longer-term career plan, do have a read. It might make you look at your relocation strategy a little differently.

Just posted a new edition with 152 jobs: relocateme.substack.com/p/weekly-hand-curated-tech-jobs-with-d66
Last week, we shared with you an article by our founder about how the relocation game in tech has changed.
That piece ended up on the front page of Hacker News and got 200K+ views on Reddit.
And it naturally led to the next question:
If today’s relocation market works differently, how should you actually search for a job abroad?
That’s probably the question Andrew received most often after publishing the article.
Here’s the answer:
I don’t think there’s one perfect website that solves the problem. If there were, I’d simply send everyone there. Instead, I think relocation today is much more about building the right search strategy than finding another job board. Over the years, I’ve seen people relocate in many different ways, and that’s perhaps the biggest lesson I’ve learned: there isn’t one path. If I were starting my relocation journey today, this is exactly how I’d approach it 👇https://relocateme.substack.com/p/how-to-search-for-a-tech-job-abroad Enjoy reading!

It is the new post by Andrew, our founder, who’s been involved in tech talent relocation since 2011.

As part of our effort to share useful tools and resources for relocation, we’d like to highlight Manifest.
Manifest is an immigration law firm specializing in U.S. employment-based visas, including O-1, L-1, EB-1, and National Interest Waivers (NIW).
What makes them different is their process. They don’t hand your case off to a paralegal. Instead, you’re matched with an experienced attorney based on your specific case, receive dedicated 1:1 support, and can track your case every step of the way through an online portal.
And, of course, their track record: thousands of visas and green cards successfully obtained for clients.
If you’re planning a move to the United States for work, they’re well worth considering.

Partnership post. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.
When it comes to relocating abroad for work, most people immediately think of employer-sponsored visas.
But there’s another, often overlooked route: talent visas.
One of the biggest differences from a traditional work visa is that a talent visa often doesn’t require you to have a job offer. And unlike many digital nomad visas, eligibility is usually based on your professional achievements rather than meeting an ongoing minimum monthly income requirement.
We put together a new post on our Substack, The Global Move, covering some of the strongest talent visa options, including:
• O-1 Visa (🇺🇸)
• Global Talent Visa (🇬🇧)
• "Carte Talent" (🇫🇷)
• National Innovation Visa (🇦🇺)
• and several others.
Well worth a read if you want to be aware of the different relocation pathways available.

“Why do you want to relocate?”
It’s one of the most common interview questions international job seekers get, and one where your answer can quietly hurt your chances of moving forward.
Many candidates answer it by talking almost exclusively about wanting to move abroad, seeking a better quality of life, higher salaries, and the like.
Here’s the problem: when that’s your entire answer, you unintentionally shift the focus away from the one thing the recruiter actually wants to hear about: the company.
By the time you’re sitting in that interview, they already know you want to relocate.
What they really want to hear is that you’re genuinely excited about joining their team.
In my latest article for The Global Move, I explain:
- why focusing so much on the idea of relocating during interviews can work against you;
- what employers actually want to hear instead; and
- how to approach relocation questions the right way, with examples of weak and strong answers.
I hope it comes in handy for those of you who are currently looking for a tech job abroad.

Just published an updated guide to digital nomad visas available in 2026.
Today, more than 50 countries offer some form of digital nomad visa, and new programs keep appearing.
Some require relatively modest income, while others have thresholds that put them out of reach for many people. Some are designed for a short stay, while others can lead to long-term residence.
We originally published a similar guide in 2025, but a lot has changed since then. Income requirements have been updated, several new programs have launched, and a few older ones have quietly disappeared.
The updated guide groups options by region and includes the specific visa name, minimum income requirement, duration, and an official government source for every option, so you can verify the latest requirements at any time.
The list is now live on our Substack, The Global Move. Check it out here 👇

Do cover letters still matter in 2026?
Our answer: Yes, but only if you write them well. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.
To give you an example, one of the subscribers to our Substack newsletter, The Global Move, recently wrote a cover letter that opened the door for him at a Berlin-based tech company while applying from abroad.
He kindly gave us permission to share that cover letter publicly, so we could break down what made it effective and share practical advice other job seekers can use when writing their own.
You can find the cover letter and our thoughts on why it worked in this new article 👇

Last year, a friend of ours, Jani, a full-stack dev from Slovenia, was preparing for interviews.
The technical stuff wasn't the hardest part. The hardest part was this: how do you know if your answers actually sound clear?
Not in your head. Out loud.
In a real interview, nobody hears the polished version you rehearsed in your mind. They hear what comes out under pressure: the answer that drags on, the explanation that wanders, the moment you know the topic cold but still sound shaky.
And when you get rejected, you usually never find out what went wrong. Was it your confidence? Your English? The way you structured it?
That's what pushed Jani to build Pavone.ai.
It lets you practice interview answers out loud and get feedback on clarity, structure, confidence, and delivery before the real thing. Made for people preparing without a bootcamp, regular mock interviews, or a senior engineer on hand to provide honest feedback.
The first practice run is free.

Hello everyone 👋
Last Thursday, we briefly announced the launch of our new private job board for paid subscribers to our Substack newsletter, The Global Move:
https://globalmove.relocate.me
Some of you may have already checked it out (and even joined), while others may still have no idea what it is.
So, we'd like to take a moment to introduce it properly and help you decide whether it could be useful for your international tech job search.
📌 Why we built it
For over a year, our team has been publishing weekly manually curated lists of relocation-friendly tech jobs on Substack.
In this format (Substack posts), those job lists are difficult to browse.
Plus, searching through the archive (6,000+ jobs shared to date) has become time-consuming, with opportunities spread across 60+ weekly job lists and many openings that are no longer active.
The goal of the job board isn't to replace the newsletter, but to make the experience much more practical for subscribers.
📌 The idea behind the job board
• Jobs appear on the job board daily on weekdays as we find them (rather than once a week on Thursdays)
• A searchable archive
• Filters by job type (relocation/international remote), category, country, company size, etc.
• The option to save jobs, mark them as applied, and report inactive ones
• 100% manually curated
You can read more about the job board here:
https://relocateme.substack.com/p/introducing-the-global-move-job-board
Or, head straight to the job board and join:
👉 https://globalmove.relocate.me
At the moment, there are 1,200+ job openings:
• 1,000+ tech roles with visa sponsorship and/or relocation support
• 240+ remote roles open to international talent
Just moved to Germany or about to? 🇩🇪
Quick one worth knowing about. We've partnered with UniRents, who does something that makes a lot of sense if you're relocating: instead of buying everything for a new apartment, you rent it.
Furniture, appliances, the stuff you need to actually live somewhere: the upfront cost of buying it all is brutal, and then you're stuck either hauling it to your next country or tossing it when you leave.
How it works:
👉 Pick what you need at unirents.de
👉 Pay only for as long as you need it
👉 Delivered in 2–3 working days
👉 Picked up when you move out
It's a popular option for international workers who'd rather not sink money into furniture they'll abandon in a year.
If that's you, the code RELOCATEME15 gets you 15% off your order 👇
