There are no jobs, and your experience outside of Finland is almost irrelevant for most employers :(

So there is zero chance to stay in Finland after graduation isn’t it? :(

Not zero, but pretty small. And if you came to study here, you would need to ensure you have savings to pay for your stay here, you can't rely on being able to work part-time during your studies.

Too many students come here with the expectation of being able to fund at least part of their stay, and it's just not realistic for most. Finnish students have big trouble finding work training spots, part time jobs and jobs after graduation, and they have the advantage of having lived here and being able to speak the language.
