Quote
Even though I am originally from Spain, I decided to come to Austria for my master thesis and immediately fell in love with Styria. Besides, there are many companies in the region working on power electronics, so I decided to settle and work on the same I studied for. For me it was always very important being on a team as well as having flexible working conditions. And my best advice for future students is: practical experience is the key to success!
