IT is a global industry, and most of its core technologies have been developed by companies that operate worldwide. Healthy tech-sector industries exist in India, Ireland, Canada and Scotland, while the United States remains the source of much of the IT industry.
As standards and programming languages are the same everywhere, core IT skills are standardised around the world. However, you will require some language proficiency if you choose to move to a non-English speaking country.
