We have computed tens of thousands of applications and searches on TechMeAbroad in May to understand where talent in Tech dream to move to. As expected, the US remain the top destination, while France takes an unexpected and solid second place. What is not surprising though, is that China, with its massive startup scene, and its numerous Unicorns attract more and more Tech talent and scores #10. The Netherlands, #8, is also a top destination in Tech, as the country has done a lot to attract Tech talent in the recent months.
Here is the list of the top 10 countries TechMeAbroad users applied to and searched for in May.
What is also interesting is that other countries, such as Spain, Italy and Sweden are usually top destinations expats want to go to (see bellow), but when it comes to technology, these countries are not as attractive and they did not make it to the top 10 list.
What about you? Where would you like to relocate to work at a great tech startup abroad?

9yI would have seen the UAE in this top 10, considering that in Dubai there is No tax on income, affordable skilled engineers, great weather, good infrastructure but it's true lack of VCs and Business Angels can be an issue when you don't want to go the boostrap route.
