I moved to Norway to work as a Software Developer; ego-less technical discussion is _incredibly_ refreshing.
Elsewhere, even when people all have what they think is the product's best interests at heart, too many times have I seen competing showmanship ruin an otherwise killer team.
Is it really that different (than the US)? How did you get a work visa?
I can't even express how many "geniuses" I've tried to work for only to find out they completely crumble under the pressure of the expectations they build for themselves, and then are unable to accept help or work with other reasonably intelligent people (which might threaten their ego).
Seriously getting burnt out by tech, which is sad, so if it is really as different as you say I would love to make a move.
