Belgium or France

[ihabkal]

I want to know if there's a firm in Belgium or France that is planning to hire artists in the next 24 months. How advanced are firms there? is this business flourishing in Europe (less Britain which we all know it is booming there)

When I was looking 5 years ago the demand was so low it was depressing. Is France becoming technology capital or is it still like it was five years ago, offering no opportunities for 3D artists?

thanks,

Here in Holland it's good business, and i get a lot of visitors from Belgium on my website, half of Belgium speaks sort of dutch, but i never got a project in Belgium.

I am asking this becasue if my visa expires in two years and the INS kicks my butt out of the US I need to find a place to live with my Family and I always wanted to go to Europe. I just don't know if I can find work there. Any advice? can you propose a country that would take me with normal visa requirements?

thanks,

Ihab

I know nothing about the visa. But i think France might be a better choice than Belgium. But i really don't know for sure. Also germany is quite on top of things. You could also consider Holland. There are quite a lot of big architectural firms with inhouse 3d-artists.

Thanks for the advice. I like Holland too the nature is beautifull there. from the photos I have seen.
