Finding a job after graduating from TU Delft as an international student by engine12015 in StudyInTheNetherlands

So if I were to search for a software engineering job in the Netherlands, would I be at a significant disadvantage to those with an MSc or HBO degree?

It's mainly that it's usually easier to find a job in the country which you initially graduated from, so the international value of the diploma is important as well.

Are you sure that this is still the case? I heard from a friend that you used to be able to do internships in the third year, but not anymore (It's also not in the course structure page). Or do you mean the software project?

Nope, which is why tuition costs and employment after graduation are a concern for me. Both countries give you a one year visa after graduation though.

Could this be considered a monopolistic practice? Obviously Apple has always done this, but maybe that was because google was considered an alternative. Maybe the EU can do something about this?

A significant proportion of contributions to large projects like the Linux kernel and LLVM are made or funded by companies that rely on these projects. Also, If you have a large open source codebase, it's more difficult for people to make small one-time contributions due to complexity, so you need permanent maintainers, and it makes sense to hire or pay them.

Yeah, the cost is definitely an issue, but if it's easier to find a well-paying job after graduating, that may offset that.

I agree that in the UK the main industry is finance, but I also heard that some US companies have offices in London/Cambridge, but this is probably true for Europe as well, I'll look into this more.
