In spite of all the objections from the dullards that have no sense of humor, I thought it was brilliant.

Posting the same reply to numerous other postings does not mean you have a sense of humour!

No it just means that multiple people need to be told.
Especially you.

You have never heard of Post-ironic humour have you?

If that is anything like British humour, then no.

As some may already know I will finish my apprenticeship by the end of June this year and then join the Airforce (radar stuff) until end of November.
Ending my apprenticeship is sort of a big step: I will be a fully qualified Junior Software Developer afterwards, and there is a chance that I will be offered a job within my current company. However, I don't want to bet for that, and since we are undergoing major budget cuts the possibility that they will not offer me a job is there, that being the fact why I am looking around for myself a bit, too.
So here is the question: Any recommendations what I need to take care of?
Anyone knowing a company hiring Junior Devs (C++, C#) by the end of this year?
I am not really picky of the country and the industry, even though I'd prefer a job in the US, Canada or Europe and staying within the Medical Diagnostic Company.
I'd be also very happy if you could add any thoughts and/or experience you have on job search.

There are dozens of dozens of company hiring Junior Devs. Or did you mean with a decent salary too ?

Junior Dev, Decent salary, the two are mutually exclusive aren't they?

It seems that you got my point.

I can live with an average salary, for the moment I am happy if my salary after the apprenticeship is going to be enough to pay a Car, the rent, food, a few beers on the weekend and a few days abroad each year.
So an average salary would be fair enough, it will beccome decent as soon as they see me doing a good job.
By the way, since I know what company you work for: In which field of it are you working in?
As I stated to Ravi, most companys are hiring people who need to have a Master or BSC degree, which is not gonna work for me.

Sorry for being cynical but it took me 8 months to find a job after being graduated from university.
And yes I know that the answer to "what can you do with a Masters Degree in Mathematics" is drive a truck!

I would think there would be openings within the large multi-national company you're currently working at. That would be an excellent way to grow and get real-world experience, IMHO.

The vocational departement is acctually already in contact with the Development departments, but recent budget cuts are making me to look out for a backup, if everything fails. Furthermore, a company with a bit of a better culture may be a safer bet than my current employer.
The problem I am currently facing is indeed that there are many jobs open, but about 90 % of them require a University degree (BS, Master or something similar), which I do not have at the time (I still stand here and say that a good Apprentice can beat an average BS or Master programmer, but HR personell udually doesn't think the same way).

Finding a company in the US that is willing to sponsor an H-1B visa[^] for a Junior Programmer is going to be tough. If you have connections with a multi-national company that has a presence in the US, that is probably a safer bet.

My current company is multi national, but asking some guy I already know personally may be even safer.
Thanks for the clicky

Beyond the fact it is in Africa and the capital is Nairobi, I know nothing of this land. There is a chance we may be off there with Mrs wife's job and I was wondering [that's with an O] if anyone knows anything about it, especially the IT industry.
0. I am going to meet someone at the High Commission next week to find out more, but I would like to be a bit better prepared.
1. Yes, I have read what I can on Wikipedia and I am googlin', bingin' and even random URI'in' to find out more.
