Job security for Indian students in Ireland depends on your field and visa status. The tech sector is strong, but competition is high, especially for non-EU graduates.

- Tech jobs are competitive: For example, a recent Computer Science master's batch saw only about 15 out of 130 students secure tech roles, most without visa sponsorship.
- Visa sponsorship is challenging: Employers are cautious due to higher minimum salary requirements for work visas.
- High demand in key fields: Skills in software development, data science, AI, and cybersecurity are valued, with salaries for roles like data scientist in Dublin ranging from €45,000 - €60,000/year (subject to change).

Building relevant experience and networking during your studies can improve your chances. If you need personalized advice, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
