How can a system administrator emigrate to another country?
Good day!
Recently, I have been thinking (not about how good it would be to move to another country with a bag of money) about quite a real change of the country of residence.
A few words about myself: 26 years old, system administrator with about 3 years of experience in this field. Certificates from Microsoft - MCP, MCSA: Windows 7 and from Red Hat - RHCSA and RHCE. English at a level between Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate, most likely, there was work experience in a foreign (Korean, hehe) company, where they understood me and I understood them.
As potential opportunities, of course, I consider the English-speaking countries of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
So far, the nearest plans are to try to improve the level of English in writing and speaking, to pass something from international language certificates, for example, ielts.
I have questions for people who have already gone this way and work abroad in general:
1) How did you look for work in another country? Did you have interviews in advance and went already pointwise, or did you collect everything and go for good luck?
2) The demand for such a profession as a system administrator. Do they need my hands and head there, or are there 5 of their own per square meter?
I don’t touch on visa issues and others yet - I want to understand the main ways that they use to solve issues of earning money in a foreign country.
If you briefly describe your path from the decision to the present moment - I will be very grateful to you. Thank you.

There is an excellent Blue Card program for immigrating to Germany.
1) Searched already in place. Came to Germany on a visa to look for work .
2) You can see it yourself on the site with job offers: surfin-birds.ru/kakie-php-razrabotchiki-nuzhny-vg...
There is an example of a search for a PHP programmer, so you will enter your data accordingly.
Our blog describes immigration under this program - from applying to the embassy to finding a job in the IT field. Here is the chronology of events: surfin-birds.ru/ura-my-poluchili-blue-card
In my case there were:
- 20 resumes sent within 2 weeks;
about 10 answers of different content (somewhere they immediately offered a salary, but it was less than necessary for the Blue Card, somewhere they offered to undergo a 4-day training for candidates for a place, etc.);
- 4 calls;
- 1 interview, successful. I work there, Germany, Saarbrücken.
I did not know German, now I am learning (of course, it reduces the number of vacancies). English free.

You can forget about a work visa. There are plenty of admins. All those who were not taken to code go to the admins. Better go to graduate or bachelor's degree. They will give a student visa for 1.5 years or 3-4. You can work within the campus, but scholarships in Germany are not large (700 euros somewhere), i.e. 2 will be difficult.
Sorry, you can also forget about studying. TOEFL is also required.

Whether the question is still relevant or not, sites such as Monster.com, jobsite.co.uk have a lot of offers, especially for technical support.
The neighbor's grass is always greener. If you move, then at a young age and there is no family yet, since you have already decided, then first read this - immigrantinvest.com/blog/emigraciya-iz-rossii article about emigration from Russia
