I’d like to join you guys on your side of the pond, but i need to look for an in. Im willing to figure out the legalities, etc, but first and foremost I’d need a job. Do you guys have any suggestions for job boards to use that focus on EU countries? Specific focus in the technical field is a plus.
I’ve seen some interesting postings on https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/jobs
They’re French but have jobs for all of Europe (as well as other locations)
Euraxess or something like that. I think it’s mostly positions at universities or institutes and less companies, but I might be wrong.
Euraxes for positions in academia, EURES for other jobs
According to their own description,
The Hub is a recruitment platform for Nordic startups that offers career opportunities for global talents.
In Norway we have finn which is privately owned and arbeidsplassen which isn’t. This is primarily for jobs in Norway though.
Surprised no one mentioned LinkedIn yet? A lot of companies use it these days, across multiple countries.
Edit: sorry I didn’t see which community this was in, obviously LinkedIn is disqualified due to being an American company!

I’m willing to bend a bit on this one to gtfo
Xing is a German owned site, and a Linkedin alternative
Side note,
What’s the point of having tens of mediocre job boards per Europe, when one EU-made good one would maximise network effect? Why has EURES not crushed Linkedin? What are they even trying to do?The good thing is that the EU has a lot of different governments. Some will be more open to give out work visas.
Portugal seems to be an easy one to get into.
From a quick search, Portugal offers a job seeker visa of 120 days, which can be extended by another 60 days.
Once you have Schengen D visa, you can go anywhere in the EU.
Most of our immigrants come through family reunification or refugee status.
work visa might be more complicated because you don’t have someone in the country paying for your cost of living (or taxes doing it in case of being a refugee, atleast in theory, there’s plenty of homeless people in Brussels).
i’m probably being overly cautious, good luck researching the subject.
What is “the technical field”? What’s your qualification? You probably will not get a working visa without one
