web development in Buenos Aires

[deandeblock]

Hi Guys & Girls,

I'm a 29 year old guy living in Antwerp, Belgium. I would love to go to Buenos Aires for a couple of months while working. Is there any chance i can get a temporary job there as webdeveloper. My skills in PHP and Zend Framework are fairly strong! However, I do not speak spanish but i am willing to learn it.

Where should i start looking?


Lots of thanks!


Dean

Local I.T. work is fairly low pay ... a better option might be Elance.com

If you can provide quality work that people will happily pay more for (you'll be competing with indian sweatshops charging $5 an hour) then it can turn out well, and you'll be able to work from anywhere.

hey thx!

I know, Elance will give me a better deal after all.

I thought mingling with the locals would give me some other benefits beside money...

How's the wifi over there?

palermovalley.com is great. They attract lots of both, locals and expats

Don't try working in Argentina, except with other expats and foreign businesses
