Congrats on the launch, Laila and Iliana!

Quick question: why are the companies with on-site jobs restricted to Europe and Canada (if they are in fact restricted)?

Thanks!



Ah, that's not our restriction, that's the reality of visas for people from these countries. It's almost impossible for a junior engineer to get a visa to the United States. One of our candidates had a job offer at Amazon in the USA but couldn't get the visa. So he ended up at a startup in Germany instead.

So far our participants have ended up primarily in Germany and Poland, and we're seeing possibilities in Sweden, France, and the UK too. We're still figuring out what the Canadian visa situation is for junior engineers but it seems possible (probably best for them to apply for residency first and then get a job).

If you have any more insight on this do let us know!


We're also wondering if some other countries like Australia might be an option
