I’m on my second year of CS on southern Spain and I want to move to another country when I get my diploma. I also have low level autism and a B2 English level, in addition to native Spanish, and in the future I’m also thinking of getting some certs.
I want to see wether place I can just have a better future and if possible to make a startup
Northern Spain, maybe?
I suppose it depends partly on why you want to move. You listed some desires, but it seems you already decided that moving away is the right answer. Is Spain especially bad for people with autism and entrepreneurs? What kind of company do you want to start? Do you have a shortlist of countries you think would be better?
You should also consider how difficult it will be to move to any given country. Anywhere in the EU is legally/politically easy, but culture and language are likely to be significant barriers. Parts of Asia are easy to get into as an English teacher, but only as an ESL teacher.
I want to move to get more money,to live in a big city and to be able to meet new people while starting a FOSS hardware startup/compatibility layer centred startup.
Look at this guy wanting to improve over Spain.
Catalonia. The language wouldn’t be super hard to learn.
Use the critical thinking skills you gained at uni and decide for yourself. Put that education to good use!
You can get qualified in low level autism now? Sweet!
Wanna try NL? I heard they have pretty good mental health + neurodivergence support, and they are pretty open to all tech matters too. They seem to have a lot of cultural/hobby imports from all across the world too, so hopefully you will be able to find most of whatever strange fixations you may have (I go to NL all the time for my hobbies lol). Heads up though, I heard the language requirements are getting stricter, but that could just be temporary due to current job market…
Otherwise, I guess a brief stunt at whichever job pays the best/gives the most take-home pay would never be bad. EU citizenship grants a lot of residency freedom… so literal immigration might not even be necessary depending on the circumstances
Immigrating to any third country without a preferential agreement such as the EU would be astronomically more difficult, so you can certainly try… but might not be very easy to do, especially with only a Bachelor’s degree
For a startup, connections and money are the most important. If you move abroad with nothing, you have neither of these.
For someone with “low-level autism” I would also rather recommend a more structured job as a salaried employee.
Just do a master in your (European) country of choice and then stick around and find a job.
I would stay in Europe, probably around Switzerland, Netherlands or further North with our Scandinavian friends.
Come up north to the Netherlands; CS and English should get you set up pretty well here since we have a lot of software development and such here.
@EloySg@lemmy.zip look into the Erasmus program for international students while you’re at it.
I lived in Japan for
sexsix years, albeit as a student (BA, MA) so I have no experience in startups. It’s a wonderful place if you don’t have to slave for midrange to big corporations. I have seen many acquaintances and friends starting their own ventures, some quite successfully. In my own country of Sweden, I have not seen that many/frequent startups. I recommend you look for and read some biographies or blogs of people that have their own company in Japan. 😊 ¡Buena suerte!I have seen many acquaintances and friends starting their own ventures, some quite successfully.
I used to listen to a podcast of 2 or 3 English speaking people living in Japan, and they said something similar. Starting a barbeque restaurant was a breeze… zoning was mentioned, which seems to allow for much more residential/commercial mixing and generally less bureaucracy. If I remember all that correctly. I’m wracking my brain what the name of that podcast was. One of them was a comedian.
They’re getting stricter here on foreigners here. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Sheet… Were to be expected of that neo liberal tumor of a government, but still, it’s sad. Long ways from 留学生40万人計画…
Enjoy the remainder of your sex years 🤣
Autocorrect or the likes. In Swedish, sex and six are homonyms. 🤣 But in all seriousness, although unrelated to the post, sex life in Japan was next level transcendent.

Just like in New Zealand
Was it NZ where decades, the kids, and dickheads all sound similar?
I’m on my second year of CS
If that isn’t something indecent, you could really tell it.
But only a 2 year study, and only B2 English … not easy. My advice is: Wherever you go, learn the language very good.
CS is short for Computer Science usually.
