@@Aquarius285 hey ! hmm it's a hard one. I don't really have anyone from my close circle in the industry. But my normal approach would be to check what companies there are/ you'd like to work for and go through linkedin or their internal systems to apply for the positions.
I've thought about trying to get a software job at Amazon here in the US and move to their BCN office eventually, but I don't think I can wait that long :/ I really want to move there so I think I may just go to school to get my Masters degree, and get a part time job once I'm settled in.
That’s fair enough. I would say just make sure you have enough savings to stay here. Most part time jobs or internships won’t pay very well here , especially if you are still sorting out your docs. But if you can get some remote part time jobs in backend dev/web development , that should be good enough.
@@PauliusCreates Thanks for the advice! Enjoying your channel’s content as I get the courage up to make the big move. Going to be doing a lot of research on student visas and whatnot.
it it possible to get a software/tech job in spain as a new grad? also, if i did get a job, am i allowed to have an online (not in spain/related to spain in any way) side/freelancing gig for extra income? thanks!
To answer first question - yes , there are a lot of companies based here and software/tech is in high demand. Regarding side gig, it really depends on the company and what type of work you will be doing. I know in my company I wouldn't be able to do it, because the software we use is very specific, however, if it's coding in a specific language , I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it as a freelancer.
Hey my friend are there english speaking real estate jobs or general sales jobs hiring in Barcelona. Could you point me in the right direction. I am a British citizen.
What are the laws that protect employees in Spain? Are they protective? Can they fire you whenever they want without notice? Do they give you a notice? How many days? Jobs aren't paid that good as a total score and rent an apartments are expensive.
It really depends on the company. Generally if you work legally and it’s after your probation period , you can’t be fired on the spot without good reason. There are a lot of international companies here too. In general there are quite few laws that protect workers well being. But again, for specifics it would be best to check it with experts
Don't come to Spain unless you work in development, IT, electrical enginering and stuff in between, other jobs pay peanuts and you'll have to most likely split rent with strangers and live a shitty life with little cash. Also, if you're a developer learn German and English so that you can work remote for companies abroad that pay real money, you shouldn´t work for Spanish companies under any circumstances, they pay 2-3x lower salaries. I couldn't make than 2500 euros/month working for a Spanish company, but I could easily get 5k from companies abroad working remote. Spain is the best country on earth for 0.1% of people, and a 3rd world country with good climate for 99.9% of people, so make sure you're in the 0.1% before making the move, otherwise, don't. If you're coming here to work regular jobs, you're way, way better off moving somewhere else, like UK, Germany, and north of Germany, developed countries that pay money not chew gums.
@@womanlyglam same thing probably. Too much competition and low pay. You are better off doing graphic design in Germany, the Scandinavian countries or Austria. The rest of the EU including France is just like Spain.
It seems like a lot of expats are echoing this. If you're going to work in Spain work in the tech industry and not for low paying Spanish companies. The COL is low in Spain of course but that comes with low pay.... teaching English is something a lot of people do but that pays about $700-1200 per month and is temporary, part time low paid work. Aside from that being a feelancer in high paying industries another option but that's not really working for an employer.
The best way is to find a job is before you go! So you feel safer
Agree , if possible that’s definitely the way to go!
@@PauliusCreatesHow can i find a job like artist for comic books in the Madrid?

I don’t think you would have a lot of issues to be honest. I’d start looking on linkedin before moving though
