Basically, im trying to find a part time or an internship (im in germany, i dont mind remote though) because my university starts in April after i write my exams in December (and hopefully pass)

I have been programming as a hobby for a few years now, freelancing and whatnot, but now i wanna find a job for the next 6 months or more as i have nothing much to do till then

I cant freelance here anymore as i need a license which is a pain to gwt as a student i heard, and freelancing wouldnt make me enough money to survive as it would be hard to find jobs

Ive been doing python and rust, and i know C and Javascript well enough too I did the basics of arm assembly at some point for fun too(wasnt fun)

Basically, where do i go about finding any jobs? I have no leads

Given that you're studying, apply to any software company as a "Werkstudent". You can work up to 40 hours per week during periods without lectures, up to 20 hours otherwise. The benefits of that versus normal employment are reduced taxes for you and the company. Companies usually do that and also invest in upskilling you in the hope of being able to hire you later. Look up different companies located close to you and just apply.

Source: I worked like that for a small webdev company and than a rather big company til 2021.

Out of curiosity, what license do need?

I did try and look around for some werkstudent jobs but almost all of them are java or c# (which im willing to learn, but don't know yet except like a hello world which isnt much)

There's no need to be perfect. Just apply, you'll learn most on the job. Languages are just tools and most are similar, especially in the java, c#, js, python world. You can also take the initiative and apply to companies without open Werkstudent positions

tbf what i have learnt has all come from just doing stuff, either for self or friends or freelance jobs and so

I just assumed i shouldnt apply as i had no experience in them but i guess ill try anyway?
