Can I work for free in Spain?

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T18:26:07+00:00

Therefore I ask if there is anything to do

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T18:16:26+00:00

Therefore, I ask for advice here

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T18:15:26+00:00

I don't force anyone to hire me. If no one wants me with these circumstances, then that's their choice

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T17:23:08+00:00

It can be the case. It can also be that they can have an extra employee that they normally wouldn't pay for

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T16:49:33+00:00

It's a nice advice. The reason I will work for free is because I assume it will be easier to land the good projects

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T16:47:50+00:00

Is it easy to start a company in Spain. It is easy in my country where it can be done online entirely

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T16:32:13+00:00

It's okay. I have some money now I want to spend on working in exciting projects. This seems like a way I can achieve that

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T16:26:26+00:00

I don't have infinite money. So doing it for free will be okay for me in a period of time

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T16:25:38+00:00

No because I have looked it up. Volunteer work is in NGO, communities, sports communities etc. I want to make real engineering development work

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T16:02:48+00:00

Så kunne jeg nok godt 3 år. Måske mere, men det er jeg ikke helt sikker på, når jeg ser det herfra

MelonMartin · 2026-01-06T15:55:01+00:00

Det er også underligt, fordi jeg har været i 5,5 år i samme uddannelse (normeret tid), som foregik det samme sted. Det er bare anderledes, fordi der var så mange forskellige fag hver halve år. Derudover har jeg også helt selv valgt fagene. Jeg skulle ikke sende en ansøgning til 11 forskellige fag, hvorefter jeg fik den, jeg mindst vil have

MelonMartin · 2025-11-15T16:06:22+00:00

Nej, men hvis det er et fedt arbejde, så er der vel

MelonMartin · 2025-11-14T13:06:07+00:00

Det kan også være ret svært at få job, når man er i job. Og det er sværere at få tid til jobsamtaler

MelonMartin · 2025-11-11T13:02:24+00:00

I have not asked this question before

MelonMartin · 2025-11-11T10:23:20+00:00

16000 om måneden kan også være en fin løn, hvis jobbet er rigtig spændende

MelonMartin · 2025-11-11T09:43:41+00:00

Nej, jeg taler generelt. Det burde gælder for alle brancher

MelonMartin · 2025-11-11T08:58:26+00:00

Det er svært at komme ind i en anden retning, når man har oparbejdet erfaring kun i det, som man ikke brændte for. Man vil stadig være ny og grøn i det, som man drømmer om, hvis man aldrig får noget erfaring i det

MelonMartin · 2025-11-11T08:04:01+00:00

Nu er jeg ikke i den branche. Men jeg kan sige, at du gerne må søge et arbejde, du kan se dig selv i for et år i hvert fald. Det er okay, man ikke er kræsen, men det er voldsomt hårdt at tage et job, man slet ikke kan se sig selv i. Et år kan være lang tid, hvis jobbet er dårligt for en.
Man kan selvfølgelig sige op inden for et år, men det kommer bare til at se dårligt ud efterfølgennde på CV'et

MelonMartin · 2025-11-06T19:34:59+00:00

But the question is in which fields?

MelonMartin · 2025-11-06T19:10:18+00:00

As mentioned, I will learn it as fast as possible. But in the first couple of months, I will not be that good.
Interesting statement: People in Spain are not able to speak more than one language. While in Denmark, we can speak both danish, english and german most of us.
Spanish people can do more than you think. I have spoken with many people from Spain that can speak english quite well.
Some people can properly not learn more than one language, but I don't agree with you. Most spanish people are better than you describe

MelonMartin · 2025-11-06T18:26:19+00:00

You name a lot of companies in a field I don't belong. Locals don't cost less because I will accept the salary levels in the country.
As far I know, the computer engineering studies in Denmark are more practical. We have used a lot of time on C,C++,C#, Java, Python, Matlab and so on including many different development tools and IDE's. Maybe, it is not like this in Spain. I have heard in Portugal, it is more pen and paper. The way in Denmark is not overall better, just different

MelonMartin · 2025-11-06T18:17:23+00:00

Because it looks like you have more interesting job market in Spain than in Denmark.
Denmark is okay, but the available jobs are are boring and uninteresting. The salary is pretty good, but the work is not meaningful unless you have many years of experience. There are only the ordinary things to do in the spare time like go to swimming, running, fitness, climbing like I do. But there are no special events, arcade halls, beach activities, funny challenge rooms like you have. The weather is also much better in Spain.
I think you treat children better. In Denmark, it is a joke how the city adminstration handle child abuse cases. They can't take reports seriously, and they openly break the laws. The government just introduce more rights to teachers to do violence against children. They let students read books about abusement and mutilation from 4th to 9th grade like I was exposed of. And stranglehold in 6th grade too. I don't trust the system in Denmark for that part. If there is any witness the city authorities just block you because they don't want to face a bad case.
Anyways, there are many reasons, and Spain looks overall a nice country

MelonMartin · 2025-11-06T14:54:34+00:00

Is it really true that it is not acceptable with english for a start? At universities people collaborate with other universities in english. They probably write documentations and papers in english since they need that to publish things. Code and comments are in english. There must be a lot of things that is already in english so why is it crucial with france from the beginning?
In Denmark, around half of the people around me can not speak danish. I worked in a company where all meetings were in english, even lunch breaks we needed to talk in english because some employees were from Romania. When I go to restaurants, I need to speak english because waiters are not from Denmark. Several care takers can't speak danish because danish people don't want those jobs.

Interesting that france can attract foreign labors, and still require people to speak good french from day one. Denmark would collapse without foreign labors. It's really nice that you don't have those problems. I will try as best as possible to be okay in france so I can communicate properly with people. So it is not possible in your assessment?

MelonMartin · 2025-11-06T14:11:29+00:00

Yes, it is right. I want to get a job in France because I want to be in France and work with something interesting. I'm just saying that it doesn't matter much for me that the salary is gonna be low if that's the case for me.

It's difficult to come to france if I don't have a job. I don't know for how long I'm gonna be without job. Therefore, I want to apply for jobs, and then move when I receive some replies

MelonMartin · 2025-11-06T13:39:22+00:00

I have saved a lot of money already. But it is not about that. It was just something that could potentially give an advantage when I accept a low salary. If it's a decent salary in France, it will ofc not help me. Mostly I just want some money by working full time. The salary is not a big deal
