If you plan to search for jobs abroad after your studies, you should be aware of the post-study work options in your target country. In the USA, after your master's, you can apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) to work for up to 12 months in your field, with a possible 24-month extension for STEM fields like Aerospace Engineering.

This experience can help you qualify for employer-sponsored visas such as the H-1B. Each country has different post-study work rules, so let me know your preferred destination and I can guide you on the best pathways and strategies.
