help w finding internship/part time without a degree yet (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/programming

14 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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

so there's no harm in getting a "Gewerbeanmeldung"

Except that you will be on the IRS' radar for ever and ever, ie. tax declaration will be mandatory for you at the earliest possible time even if you stop being self employed or your business no longer exists

You should submit a tax declaration regardless. Either it's required, or you'll most likely receive a refund. So no, there is no harm; on the contrary.

Since the original poster likely won't do this anyway, this discussion is pointless.

As a takeaway message: Just submit your tax declaration, even as a working student. In most cases, you'll get some money back. And send it to your Finanzamt (tax office), not the IRS. The US won't process your German tax declaration.

Cheers
