JavaScript and TypeScript jobs in Europe

The European JavaScript market has three quite different employers in it and they want different people. Product scale-ups want someone who will own a surface for years. Agencies and consultancies want someone who can be dropped into an unfamiliar codebase and be useful in a fortnight. Large enterprises want someone comfortable inside long-lived internal applications. The tech on the listing rarely tells you which one you are reading.

The loop is usually shorter than the American equivalent

Three to four conversations is common, take-homes are shorter, and the whiteboard algorithm round is less entrenched than it is in the US. What replaces it is a longer discussion of things you have actually shipped, in some depth, with follow-up questions about the decisions you would now make differently. Preparing two or three projects you can talk about honestly is worth more than drilling puzzles.

Language at work

English is the working language at most product companies and at nearly all distributed ones, but it is not universal. Agencies, public-sector suppliers and regional enterprises frequently expect the local language for meetings and documentation even when the code and the pull requests are in English. Where a listing depends on it, it usually says so plainly — and where it does not say, it is a fair thing to ask in the first call.
