◦ Improving quality of life?
◦ Make a change in your life?
All reasons are legitimate, but…
Your next steps should be coherent.

everything much simpler:

Decision: Company size?
Big companies:
◦ Stability.
◦ Promotions may take time.
◦ Work load more reasonable (8-10).
Startups:
◦ No stability.
◦ Promotions may be fast.
◦ Stressful work load (10-12).
◦ Special packages (stocks + options).

Decision: Technology
Use your current skills:
◦ Previous experience is valuable.
◦ Is there demand for these skills?
◦ Are they becoming obsolete?
Learn new skills:
◦ Previous experience less relevant.
◦ Takes time to learn.
◦ May be more valuable in the future.

Meeting Israeli CS Students
Most Computer Sciences students in
Israel start working much before they
end their studies.
By talking to CS students you may find
out which companies are hiring and
what technologies they are using.
CS faculties always have message
boards with lots of job offers.
Try also to listen to a lecture!

You must contact the veterans!
The best way to learn about the real
difficulties and opportunities in Israel is
to talk to “veteran Olim”.
Find people:
◦ From your country of origin.
◦ With similar education.
◦ With similar professional skills.
◦ That made Aliyah 5 years ago.

The first job is special
Look at your first job in Israel as a
place to get prepared for future jobs.
The first job doesn’t need to be your
“dream job”, but it should:
◦ Give you a reasonable income.
◦ Give you relevant experience.
◦ Serve as a reference for future jobs.
After the first job, it should be much
easier to find the second job.
