Thank you so much Amjad! I really love Repl.it and I think I am a startup person in my heart. If you have a fall or spring internship opportunity don’t forget about me!

I'm curious what visa you'd be using to work at Repl.it (if you were going to move to the USA). I'm wondering if our startup should be using Manara.

Moving to the United States is almost impossible for junior engineers from the Middle East. They can relocate to Europe quite easily though. Dalia is going to relocate to Germany or Poland.

They can come to the USA for an internship quite easily on a J-1 visa, but they won't be able to stay easily once you want to hire them full-time.

Have you considered remote work or opening an office in Europe? Feel free to contact us at www.manara.tech/hire-engineers and we can set up a call.

Do you think Poland is a good place to relocate to for person from the Middle East? I'm Polish and the country never struck me as particularly tolerant for foreign cultures, although I have some anecdotal evidence of Indian people who relocated here and they do quite well from what I understand. I don't have any first hand account, but there is a sizable group of doctors and civil engineers from the Middle East / North Africa who I believe migrated here during the communist period (as our government back then had good relationships with some of their governments, they've often arrived on students exchanges and stayed).

Note, I don't want to discourage anyone, I hope Dalia and people in the similar situation have a great career in front of here. I'm curios about the outside perspective and why you've indicated Poland as a potential destination to relocate to the EU.

Germany would be best
