What worked for me in Estonia was to find a C++ job (robotics) then gradually push for Rust as I gained seniority and autonomy. Now maybe 70% of the code I write is Rust, both robot side and backend :)

Yep, moved to Tallinn from England for work 6 months ago. Being a software engineer classes you as a “top specialist” so getting a visa and residence permit was very straightforward. It really is a beautiful country. And today is the first

I remember reading your post about this a few years ago, when I was first considering moving abroad! Glad it’s going well for you. I have recently taken the plunge and moved to Estonia :)
