Not just the U.S. but in most cases, short of a Masters degree or equivalent, it's almost impossible to get hired in another country (some countries have easier migration treaties). Even then it will be difficult. You might be able to come into the U.S. under an H1B program, but there are down sides there.
I'm in the US and have looked into moving overseas in the past. Good luck, I wish I had contacts that could help/share, I just don't.

We just launched in the EU yesterday, but immigration is very difficult right now, for obvious reasons.

Will you have classes in EU timezones as well? I have friends who would be interested in that.
Also, I noticed on the website that when I check a course it says that ISA option is available for EU citizens as well, but your FAQ says that it is for US only.
I've just graduated (did 3 IT study programs in total -- 6 years of studying, overkill yes, I didn't have any good career advise via my friends, family or uni).
Do you help people from the EU to work in the US? If so, then I'd really consider applying to your school since I am noticing that I can't get there myself and US companies aren't noticing me.
I am also pretty open to learn basics again since right now algorithms and data structures has been years away. And for advanced topics I only needed that knowledge on a surface level.
