Where and how to find a job at the age of 16 (have experience)?

Where and how, is it possible to find a paid job at the age of 16?

I have some work experience in a real company - https://retentioneering.com/

I know:
- At a good level of JS (~6 years), and in principle web development. I worked with different frameworks, for example with React and Vue, I know TypeScript, I use Node.JS very often.
- I have good knowledge of Go (~3 years), C (~4 years), Lua (~3 years).
- Also wrote in Haskell and Python.

Actually, is this experience enough to take me somewhere at the age of 16? :D

There is a link to the github, but there is actually not much interesting there: https://github.com/egormalyutin

Money is needed to upgrade equipment.

In the same place as at 20. Under the Labor Code, you can work. Practical full day.

Hello, I'm 17 years old, I'm surprised by the experience that you pointed out, listening to good teams. they say that they have 6-10 years of experience in leads. You already have a spray, but God forbid you are gifted. I hope you consider the experience of adequate development, and not the one when you first heard about the language or wrote a couple of lines, but in no case am I sarcastic, on the contrary, look. If you think so, then I've only been on the web for a year and a half. I advise you here habr career, hh.ru? I recently got over 100 responses to hh, I did test tasks, tried automated tests, solved problems. On the habr career, something like 30, although there are better vacancies, I talked with people from the field, many just helped me with advice, look, if you are in a big city, and this is a huge plus, then you

  • Compiling a resume
  • You check resumes and start sending applications, gain experience in writing resumes and communication

But I should note that at the moment freelancing brings me money, but I don’t land on WP / bitrix and so on, I also don’t use Jquery.
From my personal plans to go to a big city and go to social services there, I turn 18 very soon and there shouldn’t be any questions at all, since I’m sure of my knowledge of a strong junior.
If anything - write to telegram, I will be glad to talk with you @triplicatesouls. Good luck!

Practically on any resource providing vacancies / one-time projects. An obvious example:
https://career.habr.com/
An English-language example (already with vacancies and one-time projects)
https://www.upwork.com/
There is also headhunter, fl.ru. Everything depends on your intentions.

Egor is a good guy, he does business and doesn’t play toys, like you :)
My friends’ son got a job at 15 (react)
You need development skills in a team, participation in open source projects can help with this.
You can also try to carry out one-time projects on exchanges , but I would not advise on upwork yet, if something goes wrong and ruins your reputation, then it will be difficult, almost impossible to restore your "good name"
You can even try to get a job in some kind of office, but you must understand that due to your age you will be treated in a certain way (like a baby :) ) - this can upset you, but remember that this will pass with age :)

In the same place, where always - on sites with vacancies. According to the Labor Code, you can already work without coordinating this fact with your parents.
But nevertheless, it will be difficult to get a job in an office with a more or less decent name. Simply due to the increased troublesomeness of the device for the work of a youngster, as well as the increased guarantees provided by the TC.
Although ... just now it's summer, in summer it's the other way around - the fact of infancy is a plus! Employers receive a quota for the employment of youngsters - and they must report for its implementation. Usually they take the children of employees who are of the right age :) And here you are with the desire to work and the right age;)
I would generally start with the employment service :)

Dude, don't litter your childhood, you won't get it back. Do not work at least until 19 unless absolutely necessary

Well, that's not even funny, man. If you had at least half of the experience you are talking about, you would have found a job long ago. Do you consider learning experience from the moment you heard about the subject of study or what? I taught for a month, didn’t teach for two years, then I remembered it, repeated it and voila 2 years of experience in my pocket? I just don't understand how it works.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
