How can I find a job in Europe ?

Step 1: choose a target country, Europe is a big, diverse place

Step 2: learn the language. In most big European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain...), you will likely need to speak the local language fluently to get a job. Might be able to get by with English only in the Netherlands or Scandinavia

Step 3: See what opportunities your own firm offers for transfer/secondment. This is the most straightforward way to get your foot in the door.

Step 4: If there are no transfer opportunities, network like crazy and try applying for a position. If your profile is competitive enough (ie. to make it worth the hassle of a company hiring a foreigner), you may get lucky and they’ll interview you and offer a job and sponsorship for work authorization.

Understand that you’ll probably take a pay hit if coming from the US

I moved to Canada from India 2.5 years ago for my PG in IT BA. I have a bachelors in IT and I worked as a developer for 5 years back home. After my PG, I spent 8 months looking for a job, my current company interviewed me for Technical project manager, but they offered me the role of a PC. I accepted it without negotiating as I did not want to lose the opportunity, I am extremely underpaid and I have been doing the job of 3 people, as my company keeps firing folks. I’ve lost all my confidence.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
