European companies are a while other thing though. In most big EU corporations you get hired for position, not skill. The position is ranked relative to all other positions and your rank is determined through your school/education.

Case in point, it's very difficult to get hired to a German or Swiss company with a US engineering degree, regardless of the universities standing. I had to go through that myself, it's ridiculous.
