Welcome to the adventure in Buenos Aires of finding work. It is not easy to find employment and pay is not that good. But your variety of skills will be helpful. You really need to market yourself and think out of the box.

If you can find some online work before you leave it will be very helpful in making ends meet. The is a group on Facebook called Buenos Aires Start Ups that you may find beneficial.

Last suggestion from an old timer is get an idea of what sort of budget you will have here so that this adventure is a good one.
