When App Academy students graduate with experience as full-stack software developers, they have their choice of jobs anywhere in the world. With more and more technology companies moving to large international cities, many of them choose to live in some of them, including the most cosmopolitan, diverse places. This includes iconic cities like Tokyo, New York City, and London, cultural capitals with great entertainment, economic opportunities, and vibrant micro-communities.

We spoke to three graduates currently enjoying themselves in such cities. Check them out.

Dublin, Ireland — Maddie Revill, App Academy Class of Spring ’17, Product Engineer at Intercom

Maddie graduated App Academy in spring of 2017. She’s a Product Engineer at Intercom, working on the team that owns the frontend and API for a business messenger that runs on thousands of sites on the internet.

Her previous experience in product management, combined with the practical training she received at App Academy, have made this role a great fit with lots of interesting work and loads to learn.

Maddie’s current job was her first role out of App Academy, and after 3.5 years in San Francisco she transferred to the Dublin office. Her decision to move was partly personal and partly motivated by the greater variety of teams and opportunities in Dublin, which is their main R&D office.

Dublin is a charming city
