Getting a CS job in a country other than the US
patio11: I encourage folks to consider the global market for their talents -- that's how I ended up behind a desk in Nagoya.  That being said, I have previously found that people who self-describe as "pretty proficient at a lot of languages" are inclined to describe "I can comfortably order a meal and ask directions to the nearest park" as proficiency.  They do not always respond so well to being shown a design document and asked to spot the bug.(God save me from having to interview one more person who thinks "I have watched subbed anime.  Booyah!" counts as Japanese proficiency.)
