Clinical Case of Your Ordinary (Un)happy IT Specialist
summary
Relocation to Vilnius claims to cut burnout by changing environment and routine, backed by services: a One‑Stop shop International House Vilnius that translates bureaucracy, free and paid language courses, mentorship program "Befriend", and local workshops; reported results: about 4,000 newcomers per year with roughly 20% in IT, and faster promotion (specialist→manager in ~2–2.5 years versus 5–7 elsewhere); practical tools include translation apps, local communities and spouse programs, and the system is presented as effective.
