Ask HN:Who is hiring in Germany?

from the ask-hn dept.

Hi. I am a programmer with around 3 years of experience in C and Linux in the telecommunications domain. I have also dabbled a little bit with python and django for my pet projects. I was born in Germany and moved to India when I was 5 years old. I did my schooling and bachelors in India and have been working here for the past 3 years. I have always been fascinated with the country of my birth, and hoped to go back and live there for a few years to get to know the culture first hand. I have also tried to pick up some German during the past year. Very interested to know if any HN'ers are aware of any openings there.

Thanks.

It really depends on the city you live in, what you're area of expertise is and if you're freelancing or looking for a "real" job.

I live in Berlin and I know Nokia is currently on a hiring-spree here (it's funny, because, the river is called Spree:) I know a lot of smaller companies in town I could ask who might need someone, again depending on what you do. Earlier this year I did some freelancing for the Telekom in Darmstadt, they have offices in Köln too.

Other than that you probably should be looking for jobs on these sites:

Hi. I am looking for a real job, a full-time position. I have expertise in network programming using C on Linux. Almost all of my experience is in the telecommunications domain, VoIP(SIP) mostly. Thanks for the links, I'll definitely check them out.

Hey guys i took the liberty of compiling all of these into an Excel. I think instead of these posts getting lost, might be a good idea to archive them by month. It's on Gdocs:

Hi. Thanks a ton for the link. I would love to apply. In fact Düsseldorf is the place of my birth. More importantly, the work description is very much to my liking and a good match to my previous experience. Thanks again.
