Ask HN: remote job for a new Python programmer - feasible?
1 comments
You have way too much experience to consider an internship. Maybe you want to look at just a junior level position if you really feel that way about your web dev skills.
But an internship is definitely out. I think many employers would feel the same way, which might explain why you're still looking?

Internship is quite close to what I’m looking for, but remote internships are rare. On the other hand, I’ve got 6 years of work experience in total (did embedded for 4 years, then worked with C# for the last two), so I don’t think I’d require much mentoring. I lack Python experience for a ‘full-size’ remote job, though.
A good way of getting experience with a new technology would be joining some opensource project - and I’ve been considering Trac or NumPy/SciPy. Opensource, however, is not a job, and I will need some source of income soon.
So, any advice on this situation, or hopefully there’s someone who has some Python job to do? To sum it up - quick learner, able to learn and work independently, broad experience (C#, embedded, some maths and physics, some Erlang, human languages - fluent English, native Russian, can speak some Dutch), but not too much experience with Python in particular.
