Moving to Cork

25-12-2015 9:49pm#1Hi !
I know this section is for people who want to go out of Ireland, I hope it's ok
About me :
I'm a young (22) belgian developer who is thinking about moving to Cork ! My english isn't perfect, but i'm really motivated to improve it, and I know it won't take too long .
I am in a couple, and we would like to immigrate in an english country . My boyfriend is going soon to New Zealand (for an internship, during 3 months). I really don't want to stay in Brussels during this period, and my weak experience (6 months) won't help me finding a job in New Zealand . I felt really "depressed" because of this situtation, and then I made a little trip in Dublin last weak, and I felt myself so well that I want to live in Ireland (and work there) for a while (or forever, who knows
).
I'm posting a thread here because I'd like some advice about moving to Ireland, and especially to Cork :
As you read above, I only went to Dublin (the flights to Cork are really expensive, and if I plan to move I have to keep my money), how is the atmosphere there ? I'm afraid about two things : wheater and traffic jam . Also, will it be possible/easy for me to find a Job in Cork ? Dublin seems to be much easier, but I think it's too crowded for me
Do you have any tips for me ?
Thanks 0

Cork is a much more friendly place to live and the city is smaller and easier to get around. Much better atmosphere for spending an afternoon walking around and going for a beer.
Much cheaper accommodation than Dublin too.
Ok ok nice to know And is it easy to find a place to park my car ? This question seems stupid but I have to walk around 5 or 10 minutes every single day just to find my car here in Brussels

ah ok ahah I am a junior java developer
Don't know much about who's hiring in that line in the city but there are a few multinational in the area.
Cork can get quite hectic as regards traffic at times depends on your work hours and location. Rent won't be as expensive as Dublin but that doesn't mean it's cheap. If you were in a houseshare it might work out better and easier developing a social circle and less expensive rent-wise.. Big range in quality of rentals so definitely best viewing beforehand. I'm sure any potential employer would have a few ideas.
Plenty of clubs and sports facilities if you were that way inclined. Weather..... raining here for the last 6 weeks or more but the summer months can get to mid 20s Celsius. I've worked in Belgium and would say climates are similar where Belgium would have wider temperature ranges.0 -
Ok ok thanks a lot for your help Can't wait to send some CV I'm thinking about Cork because it's the second biggest city of Ireland, but I see a lot of offers for Limerick (and Galway but seems too hard to find a job in biology for my boyfriend). Would Limerick be as nice as Cork ? 0

It all depends on what you're looking for in a city. Limerick has plenty of attributes, I've just never lived there, and have worked there. Always commuted from Cork so biased here:-)0 -
