Hacker News Reader

Thanks for the advice, I know It seems like I'm going for an easy way out (and it kinda is), but I was curious to see if there was anyone from Buenos Aires who I could talk to since I don't know anyone in the industry there. (And the industry in my country is non existent). I'm currently searching for companies and openings but I'll expect to do the real work when I arrive there in a couple of weeks, I guess I wanted to get a few pointers.

My experience has been that it is usually much easier to look for a job once I am in the new place. In the past, however, I have done research beforehand...once it involved cutting a payphone phonebook in half with a pocket knife and taking it back to my home town, but that is a pre-internet story.

Besides companies, it might make sense to look at hacker spaces and meetups and electronics surplus stores. Also, think about talking to companies that sell instruments and electronics parts because they will know who the local industries.

I don't attribute anything to laziness. There's only so much a person can do and before moving there are a lot of other things to do.
