What do web developers do at work?

I'm 19, I'm going to take a free visit in my 3rd year and go to work with the smallest (layout), pay is not important, I want to go for experience, so the question is: What is the work schedule of accomplished web developers? I mean how much work do you do in a month? for example, how many sites do you need to do per month or what part of the work needs to be done in the current month, and how does the boss feel about this? for example, if you created a certain part of the functionality for a web portal for a month, and they tell you that you had to make the entire site in a month, have you had similar situations, or if I misunderstand something, how does this actually happen? Thanks in advance for your replies

Usually, before starting a task or taking on a project, the developer himself evaluates the work in terms of deadlines. Or this is done by the head of the department based on previous experience of similar projects. Terms are usually taken with a margin and taking into account the current load.

If you get a job without experience, you may not be very afraid. During the probationary period, you will definitely not be given strong reprimands about the deadlines, because the tasks will not be serious, you will be constantly monitored and possibly prompted.
You will always have a team, there will be someone to turn to for help, and the task leader must see what is not working and involve specialists.
In short, don't worry about it.
Slowly you will get used to it and you will complete tasks on time and with high quality

In normal organizations, the deadlines are negotiated with the developer, the manager and / or project manager monitors the process, the deadlines can be shifted, it all depends on priorities, real deadlines (in the contract with the customer), etc.
With regards to "how much work" also depends heavily on the organization and what exactly you are doing. Site to site is different - you can make a superportal for half a year, or you can make a landing page in three days.
If you have been making a website for a month and no one ever asked you "how are things going?", it just means that no one cares. Contact "developer-customer (by customer I mean not the end customer, but the one who set the task)" should be permanent.

A typesetter is the smallest thing? In my opinion, this type of work is just as complex and important as backend development/design. The only difference is that the work is mostly the same type, and therefore tedious. You should not tell your future boss that you are going for experience, this will only lower your level in his eyes. And an increase in the scholarship will not hurt anyone (it doesn’t bother me). The work schedule depends on the studio, somewhere in the standard 8 hours a day you are in the office and it’s not a fact that you work all this time. And somewhere you complete tasks as they come.
Companies usually have a task manager. It's kind of like basecamp. Some of them work right there. The bottom line is that the time to complete a certain task (task) is set, most often, by the manager. And if you do not meet the deadline, then they already find out what you spent more time on to find out what exactly is wrong: they overestimated the power of the developer or underestimated the complexity of the task.

If I were you, I wouldn't rush into an office job. And I would try on various freelances. There they will clearly make you TK, set deadlines for work. Already with experience, you will be able to estimate how much work you can do per month and know what salary to apply for.

What is the work schedule of established web developers?

Usually fulltime
It depends on what you measure)) For example, many companies use the "abstract parrots" scale. The fact is that there are no absolute criteria for evaluating creative work.
It all depends on the project, for example, I am currently participating in a project that has been in development for ~10 years.
This should be discussed BEFORE starting work. There are situations of not entirely honest customers, when at first it is a business card site, and then it turns out that it is a bit of a portal, email. store, social network and cryptocurrency exchange, for the same money and within the same time frame. It is better not to deal with such people.

I will not consider myself an accomplished web developer yet.
I work in web development for the 5th year, and I fierce at work, like ebb))) with breaks of 10 minutes per hour (changed Tomato technique) + 30 min lunch. After work, I eat something at home, then I learn something.
On weekends/holidays, you also have to work or learn new things more often.
If I didn’t like the process itself and its results, I would go as a manager :D

I have been working from the second year on full-time education and at the same time I am getting a red diploma. And normally, the main thing is to find an employer ready for a free schedule and first for experience and then for money. In my second year, I already had a lot of experience in php, but this is not so important. You can gain experience, and an employer who needs something not difficult for which to hire a lot of another employee, and someone like a student for half a day will definitely fit.
For example, I started 3 years ago for 20,000 now I have 55,000 and a scholarship for an excellent student, and there is still time for freelancing.
