Looking for work (in Sydney or remotely), boosts wanted
So it seems the government is offering me an ultimatum: drop out of my studies, or starve.
I'm a nonbinary computing person, and have experience with Systems Administration, Formal Methods, Desktop Development and Functional Programming, looking to find work ASAP.
My resume can be found here: https://averylychee.neocities.org/online_resume.pdf
I'm hoping to find work in Sydney, but I'm also open to working remotely

@lizardsquid Have you talked with the Data 61 folks? Since you're at UNSW taking classes in formal methods and all that you've probably had classes with some of them, right?

@jamey I should talk to them more formally, yeah

@lizardsquid all the computer work I've done is in binary...
(sorry, I'm on the other side of the world, you are far out of my job market. Good luck!)

@moritzheiber I'm presuming you've already recommended TW? @lizardsquid

@lizardsquid ThoughtWorks - where @moritzheiber and I work.
...huh, I think we've stopped hiring junior & mid-level positions in Sydney, that's interesting. We've been recruiting a lot last few months.
Still, see if anything looks suitable at https://www.thoughtworks.com/careers/browse-jobs ? (If it does, let me know and I can refer you internally)

@lizardsquid @moritzheiber I've also pinged our recruiting people to see if we are still hiring grad devs.

@effy @moritzheiber thankyou!
but I'm not yet a graduate...

@lizardsquid @moritzheiber Graduate program as in entry-level - we hire plenty of people without degrees.
That said, it sounds like we've just filled our quota for the year :/
I'll let you know if anything pops up here, will also poke people I know in Sydney.

@lizardsquid @moritzheiber OH, there was one thing.
You said you were happy to do remote, this job ad doesn't close for a couple more days, and it sounds pretty close to your jam - https://allout.org/en/work-us#op-240861-full-stack-developer

@lizardsquid 1) I'm angry they wouldn't give you welfare, it's real infuriating because you're the perfect example of someone who should be able to get it.
2) does your uni offer internships? I got my current job through one of those, and they are obviously pretty good at fitting in to your schedule since it's through the uni.
