Hi Farazdxb,

Assuming you are able to get into any country to work (legally), I always put job searching into 4 tick boxes (in descending order):

1. Luck.
2. Relevant Experience.
3, Qualifications.
4. Speak the local language.

The more boxes you are able to tick, the more chance you have of finding work. Most people start off at 50/50.

Hope this helps.

Hi Faraz,

There are plenty of international companies in Paris but most of them are in La Defense district. It is well connected (Tube) to the whole Paris area and to the Western outskirts. Rents in Paris are not cheap and landlords ask for a lot of guarantees ie paperwork. You'll probably need some help, unless your future company has a relocation office.

Good luck,

Christian
