Oh it took me quite a long time to find a job. That's why after
1 and half year not finding anything, I decided to bite the bullet
and left for Singapore to work for a while. It was really difficult
because my SO was here (he was still my bf then). Anyway, I was in
Singapore for only 9 months and came back. Found a job within 3
months. I have been working in the same company since.
There is definitely a lot of IT jobs but problem with IT, there are
so many different systems and languages and usually very specific.
I think if you know C++, it will be a bonus.
