Ask HN: Finding a job as a software developer without having a degree?
Hello,<p>I&#x27;m a full-stack software developer mainly experienced in PHP 7.2+ and Python 3, who has around 5 years of prior work experience, currently located in Finland. I&#x27;ve been trying to find a job here for the past year, but I&#x27;ve been unable to do so, mainly because of strong bias against applicants without university degrees in the IT space.<p>I was planning to move to the United Kingdom around 6 months ago, and almost immediately I was approached by multiple companies offering lucrative jobs, regardless of the fact that I do not have an official degree.<p>The largest project I have worked on has offered services to hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. I have the skills, but I lack the studies, leading to my issues with finding a job.<p>What would be the best option for me? I&#x27;ve been trying to look at remote job opportunities, but most require me to live in their country or travel, which is something I unfortunately can not afford.<p>Thanks!
