I am currently working in the US as a Software Engineer on my post-graduation F1 visa OPT. Keeping in mind the visa concerns, I had a few questions:
Which developed countries (in your opinion) would be easier to immigrate to? I am looking from the point of view of standard of living, good education, pay to a software engineer, work culture, no (or very less) visa challenges, low crime rate, in that order (feel free to make assumptions thinking from the point of view of a quintessential American common man's way of life).
How should I develop my eccentric skills (not just technical) so that I would be able to find work in those countries quickly and easily? For example, my chances of finding work in some countries would significantly improve if I know their native languages.
I am trying to keep it general so that it would be helpful to most people. Note that I am seeking general advice, so you are free to list and make assumptions.
Note: I posted this here because this is general advise related to Career development in a particular scenario. The answers will help us understand what skills we need to learn (over the next few years) to be flexible enough to quickly move to another country and find a good job, in case visa challenges smack our families. If you believe this is incorrect, please let me know and I will delete it. I believe in being proactive and posted this in good faith. Thank you.

Other than language skills, what does "eccentric skills" mean? For example, interpersonal skills are extremely important. Do you mean that?

I'm voting to close this for many reasons. It is unbelievably broad to ask how to improve ones career, your question on country immigration is phrased as an opinion poll, the phrase eccentric skills is a bit unclear, and even if you mean soft-skills (which seems likely), that too is an incredibly broad question. We like to focus on questions with a concrete goal to address. What is your goal? Maybe you can come up with a question or questions to address particular problems.
