I wanted to fly to Malaysia as a visitor and then try to find a job there so that i can relocate there.
I don't know how is the market there generally and specially the IT market.

Is it easy to find a job there (as experienced software developer) within a period of 3 months.
Is the accommodation there will be very expensive until i find a job ?

Will it all be a good idea to take this step

Very bad idea dont do it. Malaysian pay rates are very low in IT and lowest of all for local hire. Getting a job is very hard locally. The ringet is also very weak.

Lots of unemployed software developers. Several taxi (uber) drivers i had recently were unemployed software developers. They are cheap and malaysian (no work permit hassles).
