You'll find this out during the interview process anyway. I think there is now an office in Brazil. You can always apply there, and ask to move to Australia or Canada. If you make it into TW then you'll have opportunities to work around the world if you so choose. HR do a good job of reallocating you to a different country if interested. As with all interviews you need to make a strong first impression. To stand out in a TW interview you need to be passionate about software quality and willing to learn and improve. It helps if you contribute to open source projects, or have projects to demo in github etc. Cheers, Nick. Hi Dayvid,

I no longer work at ThoughtWorks and cannot help you out with your situation. Satish you would have to give your recruiter a call.

What is the HR policy when it comes to re-offer people who have been offered earlier? Is that possible or Would they have to undergo the process again ? Thanks. Hi Nick,
