Where should an IT student go?

Question

Career in IT

Hello!
By the end of the third year there was time to start working a little (I'm a programmer). It turned out that few people need students for 20 hours a week in a flexible schedule :(
There is an offer from one young company, but they seem to be not yet a year old. Actually, I think whether it is still worth looking for options with a large well-known company or in a startup too Worries that there I will write redundant code and no one cares, I will not learn anything and will never become a good programmer,
or is any option suitable for starting a career and gaining experience, and then they can hire a large company?

Answer 1

Everyone starts with a bydlokoda :) In a larger company, as a rule, people with a certain set of skills are already required (even for juniors). In general, the main thing is to start and learn along the way, and you will have to learn everywhere - even in a startup, even in IBM.
The most important plus of a startup: due to the lack of people, the task of the system architect level can fall on the youngest.

Answer 2

Freelance.
And I immediately recommend aiming for an internship at some famous company that you like.

Answer 3

There are 2 ways out:
1) Go where they take you. Write shitty code, because you don't know how otherwise. We are full of hope that some super-architect will personally come to your startup and teach everyone.
2) Aiming at some company, university / graduate school. Make a plan for 1-2 years of preparation. And get ready. Some kind of internship in mailru / Yandex, shad, magistracy of Moscow State University Mekhmat and so on.
There are relative risks here and there. Success, relative, is both there and there.

Answer 4

With such a mood and questions only here, sorry.

Answer 5

Write for yourself, all your free time.
Get involved in some open source project (for example, miranda-im). By the end of the training, when you come to work, you will not be ashamed and you will be able to show that you have been working for a long time and demonstrate the results of your work.
