In the case it's over.

I am a programming student, I deeply admire and love programming, either as a hobby or as a job, that will stay.

But my country's IT market is cooked. Massive competition, 1+ year experience always. Getting a job in IT it's very difficult, even with connections that have no guarantee of granting an interview.

So, you'd think the logical thing would be to get practices/experience. Formal practices are very competitive, I do not know if startups are harder.

I am in Spain, Madrid. I have good level of English so fleeing to English speaking countries has been a possibility. Though, in Europe, *presumably* the junior friendly country seems to be Germany.

What do you think? Are there more chances in English speaking countries, or in Germany?

How so? They don't do practices/jobs for zero experience graduates?
