Post-Grad Life: Finding a job in Italy

I'm back in Milan and I am in my post-grad era. It's been a tough experience. I need a job and it feels so difficult right now. I hope this video helps you feel not alone as you try to find something for yourself in this crazy world and even crazier economy we live in. I also hope that this video can provide you a summary of post-graduate life after graduating from the Politecnico di Milano.

Hey man, not sure if you'll recognize me, but I really appreciate your insights now and back a couple months ago. Sometimes I do question my decision to not come to Milan, as I would have loved it to live in and explore Italy, but after seeing the job market, and now your new video, I can be pretty sure that I made the right decision. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@designerboy420]

Hi! I remember you! Yes, it's so difficult to find a job. There is such a difference between visiting and living somewhere which was a big wake-up for me. Now that I have completed school, I've had to take time to think about what is next in my life. I'm going to keep trying to look for a job while my visa is still active. But I wish the Italian government made it easier for immigrants. They will have to especially because of the birth rates and the brain drain. You should come on vacation to Italy, it's still a great place to see. Plus some of the best art in the world. (If you care for stuff like that lol)

[@designerboy420]

Thanks for watching. :)

Nice :) a bit worried about entering this phase XD

[@designerboy420]

Yeah, it can be concerning but it has really taught me how to go with the flow. I hope to continue putting out updates and tips that I learn throughout this process. #Begging the universe for some positive energy. lol

curious to see what's next for you!

[@dianakim6240]

I am about to move there for study, I will have a scholarship (8k€ per year) But now I’m not sure. Just for applying process I am about to spend 2500€ + 500€ for tickets. Idk about rents yet. I’m scared now

[@designerboy420]

Congrats on the scholarship! That will help a lot. But you need to calculate your rent I would estimate around €700 for a shared accommodation to €1k for your apartment without utilities. Getting a job during school is really difficult with the schedule so really calculate a budget

Sir please jod bar bar

I had a question. I often hear about the high level of racism in Italy. I was wondering if you felt that way in your studies? AND are there black people in architecture? mm if I know that you design :)

[@designerboy420]

Ciao Sarah! This was a concern of mine too. Tbh, I didn't experience anything crazy or maybe I really don't pay attention to people's microaggressions. I did experience the difference in how people treated me differently as an American versus someone who was from Africa. They seem to hold Black Americans in a different perspective which doesn't make sense but okay. However, I felt like racism was the worst in America. People in America are taught to be hateful but in Italy which could be the same case I feel as though there is more ignorance due to there being small percentages of black people and smaller diversity compared to other EU countries.
