Coming to UvA for master's in Security and Network engineering (Some questions regarding course and job market)
- How realistic is it for an experienced SWE (5 YOE, backend/systems focused) to land a sponsored job in the Netherlands/EU after a 1-year WO master’s like UvA SNE?
- For people who did the UvA Software Engineering (SNE) master’s, how strong is the program academically and industry-wise?
- How difficult is the EU tech market right now for non-EU experienced engineers needing sponsorship?
- How valuable is strong DSA/system design preparation in EU interviews compared to US-style LeetCode-heavy interviews?
- Are companies in the Netherlands/Germany open to hiring master’s students directly into mid-level SWE roles if they already have prior experience?
