I’m with you in the hiring fallacies. From personal experience northern countries have proven much more “adventurous” regarding IT hiring. Still, even fixing that will probably only get you onto sinking ships.

Sure Spain and Portugal have some unicorns but missing VC and the heavily tourism-take-all-their-money-asap management mentality of big capital and administration seem to be setting up a bad environment.

But that’s only personal experience not a thorough analysis...
