It depends. Securing a job after a master's abroad is possible, but your chances vary by country, field, and personal background.

With your 15 months of experience in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and a 7.7 GPA, you have a solid base. However, your 24-year gap since graduation is significant and may impact your profile. Most countries you’re interested in (Ireland, Australia, Netherlands) require a current IELTS score for admission.

- Ireland: Offers a post-study work visa (PSW) and good prospects in engineering and tech. - Australia: 62% of graduates find full-time jobs within four months, with a PSW visa up to four years. - Netherlands: Provides a one-year PSW (zoekjaar) visa, with strong demand in engineering.

You’ll need to address your gap years and prepare for IELTS.
