[llvm-dev] Compiler Engineer openings at Samsung in Moscow

[Bruce Hoult via llvm-dev]

In case anyone is looking at this and saying "Would be interesting .. but
.. Russia..":

- I was in this team for a year and a half, until March. (And other
compiler teams in the same office before that). The team are great, with a
lot of very smart people. Work hours are very flexible, and Russia has
plenty of vacation time. (28 days, plus about 10 public holidays, plus the
first week of January)

- you don't need to know Russian. Everyone speaks English, all work
documents and meetings are in English.

- ok, you need a little bit of Russian to deal with supermarkets, cafes,
taxis, the metro. But not much! (just ask my ex-colleagues) No one minds if
you use google translate, shopkeepers will show you prices on a huge
calculator etc. I survived three years, happily.

- I was the only foreigner (non CIS anyway) in the office. I don't think I
put them off the concept. Hopefully.

- they handled visa and work permit and making a bank account & cards for
salary.

- I had to find my own apartment (actually, I used expatflat.ru and highly
recommend them .. I count them as friends). I had a really nice modern two
bedroom apartment in a building literally two minutes walk from the office
for about $1000/month. Home internet 100/100 unlimited for 650 rubles ($10)
a month. Mobile 3 GB/month (anywhere in Russia) for $5.50. GO anywhere on
the metro for $0.50. Uber/Yandex Taxi are $0.14/minute plus $0.14/km ($1.50
minimum)

I left after three years because my visa was coming to an end (could have
been renewed) and I got an exciting offer to work on LLVM at a RISC-V
startup in California.

Three years in Moscow was a great experience. I highly recommend it,
especially if you're single (whether you intend to stay that way or not)
;-) Moscow is a great base to explore not only Russia, but also Europe. A
three hour flight will get you anywhere from Istanbul to Italy to Austria
to Copenhagen or Stockholm. Paris and London and Spain are not much more.
