    Any interest in as thread on this? I'm trying to keep an eye on the high potential tech companies recent, or soon to come to Ireland. Seems to be a load of interesting ones recently. Slack are now in Dublin, InsideSales.com are coming soon, and of course our own homegrown Stripe is growing pretty fast too. Others are Squarespace, Airbnb and then Shopify are coming to Galway.

    Does anyone know of other high potential tech companies coming to Ireland?

    Lots of less well known companies setting up such as Kochava and Snapstory.

    But how many of them are bringing significant tech jobs here? Most, from what I've seen, do their software engineering abroad (the US mostly) and Ireland is just home to the EMEA end of things like basic support, multilingual sales, some HR etc. Generally the lower paid work. And of course that sweet, sweet low tax rate. As much as I like to see tech firms setting up here, it annoys me when the real technical work is always abroad.

    And other people need jobs as well, in case you'd hadn't noticed!
