Yes, that sucks. What would you like to study at university if you get the chance?
- koakuma-chan 2y agoThat would be Computer Science.
- blast 2y agoI was hoping you would say that, because it's a technical field you can do very well in without a university degree. I don't mean to minimize your loss, but I cheer for you to succeed despite it.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoYou are correct. But, ironically, unlike in Ukraine, in Canada and probably in the US, entry-level jobs (also known as internships) are reserved for undergraduate students. You could call this is another downside of leaving Ukraine.
- Natsu 2y agoAt least in the US, you can just make something complicated enough to show some skill and get a real job. That's what I did, anyway. I used to work in a factory.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoYeah, that's what I think too. I have been working on a project[0] to do just that, would you mind commenting if my project is something that can be considered complicated enough? In your experience, were you not blocked by the fact that companies are looking for "years of professional experience"? [0]: https://github.com/mayo-dayo/app https://github.com/mayo-dayo/app
- Natsu 2y agoThat's plenty complicated. There are people out there who can't even fizzbuzz. Tomorrow there will be the two monthly threads for who's hiring & who wants to be hired on HN. Use those.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoThanks.
- Natsu 2y agoSorry for getting the day wrong, the two threads are up today, I guess they wait for the first weekday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43243024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43243024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43243022 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43243022 Try both. Hope that helps.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoYeah no worries, I was wondering why the threads didn't show up and found the bot profile where it said it's actually the first weekday of the month, so it's all good.
- dang 2y agoI just randomly saw this—the hiring threads go out on the first weekday of the month, so it'll be Monday March 3. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring
- Natsu 2y agoMy bad, I thought it used to be the 1st? Or maybe I just saw too many months that started on weekdays and got the pattern wrong. I appreciate the clarification, because I had wondered why I hadn't seen it yet.
- k12sosse 2y agoYeah, the USA is a giant free market for immigrant labour in tech.
