So, I figure that this question may have been asked a few times in the past (or maybe with some different details) but basically I was measuring the odds of being hired in the EU, preferably Germany or Austria, without a bachelor degree.

I'll get an associate degree in web design and programming by next year (which is when I expect to apply) but I recognize that an associate degree from Costa Rica might not amount to anything there.

I should mention that I also have no professional experience in the field at the moment, and the most I'd be able to get until then would be 1 year, I do however had over 1 year of experience working for AWS, but not as a developer.

I'd like to know because if it's impossible, I can set my sights elsewhere from now. I have my hopes up because developer jobs are constantly shown as being in top 10 of highest demand in these countries. I also had a classmate from my German course who managed to get a work permit to paste billboards.

The lack of a Bachelor's degree isn't the end of the world when going for front-end jobs in the EU. To be honest the bigger problem will be getting the work permit - both Germany and Austria are in the Schengen Area and getting a work permit is going to be tricky.

Firstly you'll need a company that is willing to sponsor you for a work permit and secondly they will have to be able to demonstrate that they have been unable to fill the role with an EU citizen. Which, for a front end developer job might be difficult.

In short it's not impossible, and I'd certainly say it's worth at least investigating the market further but I wouldn't pin all your hopes on it.
