Hi guys i need to vent with you. I live in Portugal.I graduated in computer science with 16 (0-20). While I was graduating I worked in my university programming for iot and big data fields. I have one article published in a scientific journal. I was looking for a job in my country, and I have gone to 5 interviews where they wanted to pay me about 700 maximum because they say this is my first job. The house rent is about 300 and with food and daily needs I can't have money to simple things in life. It's sad that companies don't give value to people they just think in money. It's sad that our work and knowledge is not valued...

    Hello fellow Portuguese developer! I don't know in which part do you live but I would say that you are most probably looking in the wrong places. I'm about to start an internship and that's what I'm gonna earn, so I would expect a bit more if it wasn't an internship. All my colleagues that are starting an internship now are also gonna earn around the same or even a bit more. Some of them that started working even started with a salary of around 1000, which is pretty good for a first job. So, I would say keep looking and show your true potential!

    Why units are banned in your country?

    Portugal is broke so they had to sell all their units

    Since Portugal is part of the European Union, we obviously use Bananas as our currency. We should never have to specify that.

    Boas, tuga aqui também.

    You should try
    - www.landing.jobs
    - or www.angel.co

    and try to work remotely for a company from abroad if your goal is to remain in Portugal.

    And if I took your hint correctly, or kind of academic oriented if need be. In the first link I managed to find jobs that have a research component. May not be IoT in stricto sensum, but Big Data is in. ( mindmaps.io is what pops up to my mind)

    Hope I could help!

    I assume you're looking for a job in Lisboa or Porto, right?
    That's what you get for a first job, and you'll also learn academics aren't exactly corporate or even startup business.
    If you're that good and prove yourself worthy, I'm sure you'll get a raise in just a couple of months, it happent to a few people I know.
