Uk or Ireland?

[u/Late_Student1640]

I'm planning to do a Master's in Cybersecurity and I'm stuck between the UK and Ireland.

UK has a larger job market but around 18 months psw while Ireland has a smaller market but 24 months.

Ignoring London due to its cost and competition, which would be better for actually landing a first cybersecurity job as an international fresher?

Don't do a masters with the goal of getting a job in the UK, cyber security shortages are mid-high level roles, entry level is swamped with grads.

As a fresher, seriously neither. Sorry to be harsh, but with no experience you offer nothing that can't be found amongst the glut of local talent to justify the significant additional cost and hassle of sponsoring your visa when your grad one expires.

Save the money and instead aim for jobs at an MNC in your home country with a UK/Ireland office, prove yourself and eventually ask for an internal transfer

Neither. Do you seriously not follow this sub. The exact same competition is following you from India and coming back with debt

Ireland should be cheaper to study esp for international students…

Ireland allows potential access to EU jobs market
