tech-companies-in-portugal VS hiring-without-whiteboards

I would suggest the center of Portugal check out https://www.visiteleiria.pt/ or https://www.coimbraportugaltourism.com/ if you have a car and are willing to live 20 mins outside the city then all your concerns are met.... Ignore all the naysayers here.....no you will not become rich here but will definitely live a good life (clean air, clean water, subsidized medical care, unadulterated food, good weather most of the year, people who leave you alone to do your own thing....) ... Try to get a job in an IT org... check out the list here https://github.com/marmelo/tech-companies-in-portugal aim for getting at least EUR 2000 net per month (a lot of commenters are going to say that is not possible but I know it is possible, as many of my colleagues are making this amount, you just need to negotiate hard). Best of luck, plan a short visit (2-3 weeks) to do some scouting and if you need more help then pm me. We should all at all time endeavor to improve our lives, everyones vision of the perfect life is different but that does not mean we should shoot down others wishes in order to feel better about ourselves.

I dont and i managed, so yes i guess its possible, now i do speak a smattering of the language though. Would recommend http://landing.jobs´. Of course my scenario is different, i have 10 years experience in the IT field and so it was a lot easier for me....as others have said, try linkedIn and this list (its not complete) but its a good starting point, https://github.com/marmelo/tech-companies-in-portugal . I know salaries are less compared to other EU countries but the quality of life is really really good, i would recommend to try, i faced about 4 months of rejections before i got my break so keep calm and keep applying.

if you have an IT back ground then its much easier..... towards that end would suggest http://landing.jobs or https://github.com/marmelo/tech-companies-in-portugal AFAIK getting well paying jobs in Portugal is pretty tough...

Esta lista é bastante boa.

companies that do not whiteboard

You can avoid doing leetcode and get a job by choosing to interview at companies that don't use leetcode style questions as part of the evaluation. This repo contains a list of such companies, https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards

https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards and also focusing on smaller / less sexy companies which pay less.

hiring without whiteboards is the standard resource for this. i see lots of UK companies there, but haven't checked if they're all hiring right now

- you're underpaid - start looking elsewhere, there are tech companies in bhm that will pay more than that and you can get a remote job paying way more than that, the remote stuff is super competitive right now so it may take you until the 2 year mark to find something - i've never needed anything outside of my resume but certification, projects on your github, etc. are all obviously good to have. i've been in the conversation for a bunch of engineering hires and no one's every said "well the other person had a cool website" so don't sweat it too much - leetcode, et. al are really annoying imo. traversing matrices or doing binary tree stuff is hardly ever relevant to the job. here's a list of a bunch of companies that don't do the tests. https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards ; most big tech places are going to require them though.

Early stage start-ups and non-tech companies can also pay reasonably well and may have more relaxed interview processes. There’s also https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards which lists a number of companies that have interview practices that may be more amenable to your approach to work.

There are some employers that give more practical tests, but sadly they seem to be the exception.
