Relocating to Ireland for work is a major topic right now. The drive for this is the result of a range of factors including:
- The strong economy and jobs market which makes Ireland an attractive place to live and work.
- Skills shortages in many areas, including in a range of different engineering disciplines. One of the ways companies are responding to these skills shortages is to actively recruit outside Ireland.
Should You Relocate?
You will need to consider a range of factors when thinking about this question including the work-life balance you currently have, your current career prospects, the level of job satisfaction you currently enjoy, and your salary.
