I am currently in my final year of a computer science degree in Ireland. I will be finishing college at the end of May. I would love to join a startup on an internship for the summer.<p>The problem is most web startups are based in America.
Would it be to much trouble to hire someone from Ireland?
How should I go about it?
eh? if you find a startup that works remote ( I know PG doesn't like it, but it does save a lot of time and effort, and really opens up the number of applicants) you can avoid all the visa bullshit.
<p>
even if you want to come down here, other than visa bullshit, it should be easy for the startup company. The big problem right now is that with the economy how it is right now, I'm getting experienced and good people for intern prices, but that doesn't really have anything to do with where you are from.
visa and legal requirements might not be worthwhile for an american company to hire someone who doesn't already have a visa. its not free, and it takes time to happen
