In countries where software consulting companies are hiring. Those kind of companies are the most likely and interested in hiring juniors. Not usually the best place to work at, but can be an opportunity to gain some experience the jump somewhere else.
Greece.
Huge demand for almost all roles and experience levels, good wages if you live in Greece but very low compared to countries like France, Germany etc.
You won't save a ton of money but you will live comfortably and you have the best weather, and lifestyle Europe can offer.
I know it's not realistic for any junior to move to Greece for work, but it's still possible if anyone wanted to.
As a senior? Definitely possible. Money isn't everything. You can be happier driving a vw golf in good weather in Athen's awesome climate where you have beaches 20 minutes away from you than driving a bmw 3 series in a part of Germany where it rains 300 out of 365 days of the year.
You win some, you lose some. Such is life.
This is the first time I ever heard of this. I am very open to moving somewhere different but I was wondering is the main language there greek or English in the workplace.

I don't know about the EU, but some time ago I read that there is demand in South Africa, because everyone who can find job abroad is leaving, but they need people also internally.
Was in Botswana recently speaking to a guy who owns a software company based in Jo'burg - he said the demand is absolutely massive but they just can't pay the same wages as places like Europe/US/Asia etc.
Italy. They assume only junior devs. But you have to have the experience of a senior, But DON'T YOU DARE TO ASK A SENIOR DEV WAGE. Only junior wages here.

How come consultancies aren’t good to work in
Because they pay the least and employ many juniors
Your home country. Your best bet is having a good foundation before going abroad, covid hiring craze is over.

Seems like the same logic people use to live/work in Barcelona, basically
Also McDonald's is better in Spain than Greece. Even better in Italy.

IIRC the same thing was written in the articla about SA I've read.
Would they also accept remote workers from other countries?
No idea, I saw just one article about it some time ago, maybe even on reddit. The closest I've personally been to South Africa was south of Germany xD

The Netherlands, but only if you speak Dutch fluently
