Graduates even the masters kind, need experience. Plan currently is Vancouver for me too. Would be happy to join a startup in Ireland after some experience under my belt. Come back after a few years and by then there will be new grads to hire as juniors and experienced past grads to call home.
So no need to say it will never happen, just the conditions for success aren’t in place yet. Keeping the community connected is vital for that to work. Good old GD.ie
