u/Senior-Razzmatazz-78

I have 5 years of experience working in banking in Brazil, in analytics and data science. I'm currently a Senior Data Scientist, and now I'm planning to make a move to Europe.

My current English level is around B1/B1+, and I know that's probably not enough to work in my field because communication is very important (at least I think so haha)

I've saved a good amount of money over the past few years, and I'm thinking about doing an 8-month exchange program in Ireland, focusing heavily on English so I can reach fluency and get to a C1 level, which I consider enough to work in English. I'm not planning to hang out with Brazilians or spend my time travelling around Europe.

After the exchange, once I reach C1 English, I plan to apply for mid-level data science roles across Europe, with the goal of getting a work visa and eventually obtaining European citizenship.

I saw that in Spain it's possible to apply for citizenship after 2 years of residence for Brazilians, so I'm focused on starting there. I don't speak Spanish yet, but I believe that with English it should be possible to work anywhere while I study spanish.

Do you think this is a good plan? Am I being unrealistic about anything?

P.S. I forgot to mention that I have already received an opportunity from company in Spain offering visa sponsorship for English-speaking roles. I had to turn them down at the time because I didn't feel confident enough with my English, but that experience made me think this path might be realistic if I improve my language skills first.

I have worked as a Data Scientist in the banking sector in Brazil for more than five years, and I have now decided to move to Spain because of the safety and European culture.

I do not speak Spanish yet, only English at a B2 level, and I would like to get a sense of what the job market is like there.

I would not mind joining as a mid-level Data Scientist, because I really want to make this transition.

I have a postgraduate degree, but I dont have a master's degree. Would having a postgraduates degree help?

What is the typical salary range for junior, mid-level, and senior Data Scientists in Spain?

Do Spanish banks usually communicate in English? I believe that within two years I should be able to learn Spanish.
