No Longer Jobless in Vienna

I started my first day as a product manager at bwin, a huge online gaming company in Vienna. I think this is going to be a great place to work.

I just want to say thank you to all of the people who were so wonderfully supportive when I was jobless. I want to give back a  bit now. If you are an English speaker looking for a job in Vienna, post a comment requesting the list of companies that I gathered that operate in English. At the very least it will be a start to your job search. Unfortunately, I cannot answer any Visa questions, because I myself am an Austrian citizen.

    Congrats! I am a student, but definitely looking for anything that might pay some bills/buy some books! Great way to pay it forward, good karma to you!

    Glad to hear the good news!!! ^_^ It gives hope to the rest of us job-seekers. :o ) I will very soon be moving to Austria (on account of the DH needing to be there for a number of years), and given that my German is spotty, I would absolutely love to check out the list you mention. Many thanks for your generosity!!!

    Britta,

    Enjoyed reading your posts and appreciate your perspectives. I’d like the list of companies you found. We’re looking at jobs in Vienna (have family in Vienna and Hungary) and really like the place.
    Regards,

    Hi Britta,
    I think I might get the title of newest American in Vienna. 20 days here so far! I am married to a Bosnian but we didn’t like there so we are checking out Austria. He had lots of family here! I speak almost no German but learn quickly. I know Spanish and Bosnian. I would love it if you could share your list with me. I want to get a jump start since I have heard over and over how hard it is to get a job here. Thank goodness for people like you who share their experiences. Austria and North Dakota are too darn similar so far!

    Hi,

    I just found your blog and I love it! You are a splendid writer, and I am glad to hear that you are finding success in Vienna.

    I, too, would love to see your list of English-speaking companies in Vienna, since I’m planning to move there with my Austrian fiancé once I’m done with my Bachelors degree here in the US.

    Thanks!

  13. Lisa says:

    Hey, If you still have that list of companies, which employ english speakers, I would be very grateful if you could email it to me.
    My partner will soon be moving to Vienna, and he speaks very little German. Cheers!

  14. A different Lisa says:

    Thanks so much, Britta — this is a great blog, and a big help. Would you be willing to share your list of companies? I will be coming to Austria next year, and definitely need to find work. My German is passable, but not good enough for professional life…. All help so much appreciated!

  15. Fiona says:

    Hi Britta,

    Thanks
    Fiona

    Hi there, I’ve been living in Vienna for a few years now and have gotten to the point where I think I would like to work (have been in the happy position of not needing to as I am a trailing spouse to my working husband). I would appreciate it very much if you could send me the list of companies that operate in English. Thankyou!

  18. Sara says:

    Hey! I’m about to get married and move to Vienna with my Persian born/German bred husband and I’m freaking out a bit at the idea but your blog is really helping me out. I’ve been reading a bit each night like a story, its really wonderful. Thanks for starting this really. It makes a noobie like me feel reassured. If you still have that list lying around I would love to glance at it! If you don’t thanks just the same for a snazz blog.

  19. Andreea says:

    Hey! I’m thinking about coming to Vienna. I don’t speak German but I would like to learn it ( I speak English, French and Spanish). If the list of companies that operate in English is still available, I would also like to take a look. Could you please send it to me? It would really help a lot.
    Thank you very much and thank you for this blog.. it’s really useful !
    Andreea.
