Rule summary
- Posts must be related to careers in Computer Science: All posts must be related to computer science or software engineering in general.
- Posts should be relevant within European region: Posts should be relevant within European region (including UK, Balkans, Switzerland and others, not necessarily EU-only).
- "How to find EU job" and VISA posts are discouraged: Not the right place to discuss about Schengen VISA. Due to very large amounts of similar incoming posts in the last years, most are automatically filtered but some still appear. Use our FAQ for general help and communities specific to the country you aim to immigrate into.
- Be nice to each other: Be thoughtful and professional when commenting. More often than not this comes down to having some common sense; don't say anything you wouldn't say to your colleagues.
- No promotions or advertising allowed.: Promotional posts where you link to, or share, your own or someone else's content are not allowed. We are not a content aggregator. If you want to link your blog post, you can do so on the condition that you inline the entire post to reddit. Blatant advertisement is immediately treated with a permaban.
- No recruitment or job advertisement: Posts made solely to recruit, or advertise a job, is not permitted.
- Make your post specific and clear.: Questions without sufficient detail are hard to answer. Questions that are easily answered by a web search or of very low-effort are subject to removal.
- Comments should be on-topic.: Comments should be on-topic.
- No Slop: Nobody likes slop
Works well
- A detailed text post about your experience hiring software engineers in Berlin, with the full story pasted into the post and no external link.
- A specific question about salary expectations for a mid-level backend developer in the Netherlands, with enough context about your stack and years of experience.
- A comparison of working as a software engineer in the UK versus Switzerland, written as a personal career question with full detail.
- A comment on someone's career question where you share a relevant lesson from your own hiring experience, with no link or promotion.
Avoid
- Do not post job listings or try to recruit candidates, as the community explicitly bans this.
- Do not post vague or low-effort questions that can be answered by a simple web search.
- Do not post about Schengen visas or general immigration questions, as these are discouraged and often filtered.
- Do not post blatant advertisements, as this results in an immediate permaban.
- Do not post content that is not related to computer science or software engineering careers.
- Do not post career questions that are not relevant to the European region.
What r/cscareerquestionsEU Is For
This community is for computer science and software engineering career questions within the European region. People post here to ask about salaries, job hunting, career progression, and working conditions for tech roles across Europe, including the UK, Balkans, Switzerland and others. It is not limited to the EU only. The focus is on careers, not on general tech news or immigration logistics.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called 'No promotions or advertising allowed.' is the one that decides whether your marketing-adjacent post survives. It says you can link your blog post only if you inline the entire post to reddit, and it warns that blatant advertisement is immediately treated with a permaban. The rule called 'No recruitment or job advertisement' is just as important if you are hiring. The rule called 'Make your post specific and clear.' means vague or low-effort questions get removed. The rule called 'Posts should be relevant within European region' means your post must be tied to the European region, including the UK, Balkans, Switzerland and others. The rule called 'Be nice to each other' sets the tone for how you comment.
What To Post
A good post here is a specific, detailed career question tied to the European region. For a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, the safest path is to share genuine career insights by pasting the full text of your blog post into the reddit post itself, with no link required. You could write a detailed post about salary trends for software engineers in a specific European country, or about what a hiring process looks like at a European startup. The key is to give the full value in the post and let the community discuss it. If you want to mention your product, do it only when it directly answers a career question someone asked, and keep it in the comments.
What To Avoid
Avoid any post that is solely a job listing or a recruitment attempt, because the rule 'No recruitment or job advertisement' makes that clear. Avoid blatant advertisement, because the promotions rule says it leads to an immediate permaban. Avoid posting about Schengen visas or general 'how to find EU job' topics, because the community says these are discouraged and most are automatically filtered. Avoid vague or low-effort questions, because the rule 'Make your post specific and clear.' says they are subject to removal. Avoid off-topic comments, because the rule 'Comments should be on-topic.' requires relevance.
