yellowbox··on Ask HN: Moving to Spain from the USA, any tips?
Anyone looking for awesome operations/systems engineers? :) Is there any particular city where the startup scene is better?

We're thinking Madrid or Barcelona..... Madrid has more work I think. My wife speaks pretty good Spanish and I'm trying to learn in my free time. Thank you for the link.

Thanks for the EU Blue Card link... I'll look into it.

We're thinking of moving to Madrid or Barcelona. We prefer Barcelona, but there seems to be a lot more work in Madrid, we'll see what happens.

Both of us are in the process of applying for a non-lucrative visa. We haven't actually submitted our application yet, which will take 3-5 months to be processed, because we're waiting on the FBI background check which takes 6 weeks.

It's quite the process to move to Spain but it'll be worth it!

My wife has always wanted to move.... I'm along for the ride. It's a beautiful country and I'm very excited to move there. We have some money in savings so we could last a few years even if the economy is crappy.

I've approached lots of startups and nobody is really interested in remote employees. I'm starting to think I should try to approach big companies but that will probably be just as difficult to break into.

There do seem to be lots of local jobs in Barcelona and Madrid but I'd rather not wait a year to get a job.
