I am open to emigrating, I don't care where I live pretty much. I emigrated to UK for a better education also, I am not a native here.

> London has lots of startup jobs that are likely to appeal to you

What are the best places to search for them?

> It sounds like it's time to change jobs

I think so too. And I have some savings to survive for about 8 months.

In the meantime work on something you enjoy and can point to as a portfolio piece. Go to meetups and try and give a talk about something you care about.

I was in the same position as you -- working at a boring job and looking for something more interesting. I moved to London and did contracting for a few years. Although you can still end up with boring jobs, at least you get to change jobs more often, and you get paid a lot more. jobserve.com is a good place to find contract jobs. There's also a lot of permanent jobs at startups listed on jobserve.
