One of the things that I didn't know when I decided to stay in Scotland was the great work-life balance. I have lived in different parts of Edinburgh for 10 years and I've never seen a dangerous situation, it's incredible how peaceful this place is. Something I did not expect and which is certainly the reason I feel I can live in Scotland for the rest of my life is how welcoming people have been with me. For the last year or two i've been overloaded with job opportunities. The demand for Software Engineers is very high. The Software/ICT job market in Scotland is growing and offers exciting opportunities. It's not difficult to find a job or move between companies. For me the Scottish Highlands are the most beautiful part of the UK. They are close to the seaside, mountains and Loch Ness offers the opportunity for outdoor activities all year round. I moved to Scotland for the opportunity to work at a company with challenging problems and career prospects at a level that is not available in Portugal.
Scotland works for me A 10 minute walk to work and golf and skiing on our doorstep are just added perks of living here.
