Mind fucks me every time. True story.

That show was the best haha

You can always work for free...

:/

@finiteAutomaton exactly! My very first programming gig was ad honorem. You gotta start somehow, man.

@telephantasm my first job as fresher was taking over a massive codebase in assembly and adding new features.

Not talking about what the job was about, but if it was paid 😒

In Switzerland the apprenticeship counts as the experience.
So a 4 year apprenticeship is 4 years of experience.

In Sweden, we like liquorice

I guess I have to use this one instead -> ;-)

Sorry, I was not serious, hence the smiley (frowney?) -> :/

I am completely against working for free because even if you're just a beginner, you are devoting your precious time and workforce to an employer.

But in reality, it is entirely possible to just get an "Aufwandsentschädigung" (german, engl. maybe allowance?) which also may be below minimum wage. Just do not know the law specifics.

@finiteAutomaton You must be one of those who thinks it's perfectly fine to be paid to learn.

@finiteAutomaton @telephantasm I’m just a fresher and currently doing unpaid work for experience 😅
