Hey everyone!

I'm currently a pre-final year Engineering student in India with a decent GPA (expecting 3.5+). Given the global situation, I'm seriously considering Denmark for my Master's, likely in Math or CS.

I'd love some insights on the following:

  1. Job Market: How's the tech job market looking in Denmark right now? Is it easy to land a role as a non-EU grad?
  2. Salaries: With the surge of startups in Copenhagen, what kind of median salary can a fresh Master's grad expect in tech?
  3. Quant/HFT: I'm interested in branching into Quant/HFT later. Is Denmark a viable launchpad for that, or is the ecosystem too small compared to London/US?
  4. Universities & Funding: Which universities should I aim for if I'm also looking for financial aid/scholarships? (Specifically for non-EU students).
  5. Tuition Reality: For non-EU students, the tuition fees are steep. Are there enough scholarships to make this financially viable, or is it mostly self-funded?
  6. The "Search" Period: How realistic is the 6-month job search visa extension? Do most students actually find work within that window, or is it a gamble?
  7. Housing Crisis: I've heard Copenhagen has a severe housing shortage. How hard is it to find affordable student accommodation, and should I budget extra for this?

Any advice, war stories, or resources would be super helpful! Thanks in advance.
