In case anyone is looking at this and saying “Would be interesting … but … Russia…”:
-
I was in this team for a year and a half, until March. (And other compiler teams in the same office before that). The team are great, with a lot of very smart people. Work hours are very flexible, and Russia has plenty of vacation time. (28 days, plus about 10 public holidays, plus the first week of January)
-
you don’t need to know Russian. Everyone speaks English, all work documents and meetings are in English.
-
ok, you need a little bit of Russian to deal with supermarkets, cafes, taxis, the metro. But not much! (just ask my ex-colleagues) No one minds if you use google translate, shopkeepers will show you prices on a huge calculator etc. I survived three years, happily.
-
I was the only foreigner (non CIS anyway) in the office. I don’t think I put them off the concept. Hopefully.
-
they handled visa and work permit and making a bank account & cards for salary.
-
I had to find my own apartment (actually, I used expatflat.ru and highly recommend them … I count them as friends). I had a really nice modern two bedroom apartment in a building literally two minutes walk from the office for about $1000/month. Home internet 100/100 unlimited for 650 rubles ($10) a month. Mobile 3 GB/month (anywhere in Russia) for $5.50. GO anywhere on the metro for $0.50. Uber/Yandex Taxi are $0.14/minute plus $0.14/km ($1.50 minimum)
I left after three years because my visa was coming to an end (could have been renewed) and I got an exciting offer to work on LLVM at a RISC-V startup in California.
Three years in Moscow was a great experience. I highly recommend it, especially if you’re single (whether you intend to stay that way or not) 
Moscow is a great base to explore not only Russia, but also Europe. A three hour flight will get you anywhere from Istanbul to Italy to Austria to Copenhagen or Stockholm. Paris and London and Spain are not much more.
