Comment on Ask HN: Help me solve a dilemma, study in the US or take a job in the EU?parent

Comments

Echoing on "a bad job market is the perfect time to go to school". The bad job market will rebound. Don't fall into the AI destroy jobs narative, it will create more jobs, just different. Others mentions about good US education opening doors to the US job market. That is true and definitely warrants over working in EU just by itself, but the other priceless benefit to a good US education is the network of people to start doing things on your own should you decide that is what you want later.

To compound on this, four years at a college is a perfect time to build social connections to people who will be all over the industry in various ways.

A T200 school may be a bit more limiting to a geographic region, but you'll still have contacts.

True. Forgot to mention that you don't get the network being passive. You have to actively seek it. A soso/poor geographic region will limit the network, but it's still there if you actively seek it.
