If you have a master or licence professionnelle it's easy enough to stay, as long as you get a job offer for more than 40k€/year or so (which isn't that hard).

If you have a master or licence professionnelle it's easy enough to stay, as long as you get a job offer for more than 40k€/year or so (which isn't that hard). If you have a lower diploma than that and you don't want to study for a higher level in France, you can only stay if you get a job offer among a list of needed jobs in your region (IT-related jobs are needed in almost all regions). There's a lot of red tape, but it's not as difficult as it seems.
