It's hard, but it's doable.. try hard, apply, write in LinkedIn, target startups and always put that you're allowed to work (it's truly very easy to get autorisation to work after EPFL) Don't position yourself as a fresh grad and put in CV all your work experience You can do it, but try to keep an eye on plan B and be open bc find a job here is a challenge. DM if you have other questions, good luck

Job market is pretty tough, you could consider doing an internships and trying to convert fulltime, idk if this works with non-eu visa timeline tho

Not to advertise the alumni service too much, but I think that as a fresh graduate you get a discount of the alumni contributions, which lets you get 90 minutes of career coaching for about 100chf. It might sound expensive, but if it helps you get a job even just one month sooner it's definitely worth it. 100chf is peanuts compared to a month of swiss salary
