Basically, im trying to find a part time or an internship (im in germany, i dont mind remote though) because my university starts in April after i write my exams in December (and hopefully pass)

I have been programming as a hobby for a few years now, freelancing and whatnot, but now i wanna find a job for the next 6 months or more as i have nothing much to do till then

I cant freelance here anymore as i need a license which is a pain to gwt as a student i heard, and freelancing wouldnt make me enough money to survive as it would be hard to find jobs

Ive been doing python and rust, and i know C and Javascript well enough too I did the basics of arm assembly at some point for fun too(wasnt fun)

Basically, where do i go about finding any jobs? I have no leads

      Thank you for the answer!

      I’d contact a tax consultant to decide which way to go (Freelancing or a registered business). They will also help you in case of problems with the Finanzamt.

      You have to pay taxes (Gewerbesteuer) only if you’re making more than 24500 € in profit. It does not sound like OP will make anywhere near that, so there’s no harm in getting a “Gewerbeanmeldung” (registering a business) and being able to sell things as well. It costs 30-100 € depending on where you’re living

          You should submit a tax declaration regardless. Either it’s required, or you’ll most likely receive a refund. So no, there is no harm; on the contrary.

          Since the original poster likely won’t do this anyway, this discussion is pointless.

          As a takeaway message: Just submit your tax declaration, even as a working student. In most cases, you’ll get some money back. And send it to your Finanzamt (tax office), not the IRS. The US won’t process your German tax declaration.

          Cheers
