Hah this is amazing, I'd hire you for this post alone😂! I am also a developer without a CS degree, in a foreign country (still the EU though, so it's relatively similar). I've moved from the Netherlands to Portugal and am currently looking around for opportunities here. They seem very well available even without a CS degree. In the Netherlands not many companies think a CS degree is the most important thing on your CV. Especially digital agencies are way more interested in what you can do and what kind of person you are than what degrees you have!

Arden, Thank you for sharing your world !! I'm glad to hear you liked my post.
You don't need kind of Visa to work in other EU countries ?
I'm curious about tech in both countries Netherlands and Portugal !!

No visa, only a 'residence certificate' which is easily obtained when you're from a EU country. If I can answer any questions about the tech scenes in either country, don't hesitate to ask!
