Right. A ftiend of mine is trying to find a junior developer role in an EU country for a 19yo trans woman with an EU passport who has to escape abusive parents. She's at the "Writes her own operating system" level, so not your average 19yo.
Anyone hiring? Links to job specs or adverts appreciated.
@the_sign_painter they're Irish. But any EU country.
NL preferred, they have a support network there.
@JennyList I'm in Zürich, but easy to migrate with EU citizenship. Can ask around if still interested?
@JennyList I can maybe help. Happy to have a chat to look at the puzzle together.

@JennyList @clare_hooley Yeah don’t come here right now if there’s a better option. The right wing press and the government aren’t on our side.
I’m going down to London for a mass lobby for trans equality next week. Something that I thought we won two decades ago.
Practical information to help you survive. While we often gain attention here at Trans Rescue for our work directly extracting trans people from particularly dangerous places, much of what we do involves dispensing advice and information to people self-extracting from countries of new concern, or CONC countries. These are the places where being trans has […]
@JennyList @clare_hooley thanks. I'll see when I've got the emotional space to be able to read it!
I'm not planning to leave soon, because so much of what makes life worth living for me (people, hobbies, family) is here. I'd need a LOT of strength and resilience that I don't think I currently possess to be able to move countries and make a fresh start. I really hope it doesn't get to the point that my hand is forced.
@staringatclouds @amyworrall @clare_hooley well, read it. :)
You might want to look at a rentista visa, usually for someone such as a retiree who has a guaranteed fixed income.
@mntmn are you hiring?
@JennyList University of Vienna in Austria has some – not dev-only though: https://jobs.univie.ac.at/go/All-Vacancies/8879701/?q=&department=it&sortColumn=referencedate&sortDirection=desc

Do let me know if you need more info!
@JennyList if they need a place to stay, we might be able to offer temporary stay in the fall. We're still working to get our guest bedroom in shape. It has a pantry which makes it relatively independent. We speak Dutch, English and German and we are easy going with people in the LGBTI+ community.
We live roughly in the middle of the Bollenstreek: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duin-_en_Bollenstreek
Oh, and I've been rock bottom when young because of a narcissistic mom and fled the house .
@JennyList hopefully everything ends up all right.
I'm glad I saw quite a few job options coming along. Hopefully for some other region people can help with temporary housing as well.

My company has an opening in the Linux sysadmin position, Aachen directly on the NL Border, very good LGTB+ representation, young team, deep linux knowledge recommended, skill is valued more than degrees, friendly working conditions, minimal German needed, mostly English. Should be a very good fit. Can give internal recommendation if desired.
Responsibility for managing and continuously improving the IT infrastructure at our locations in Aachen. // Ensuring the availability, performance, and reliability of our systems. // Planning, installation, and lifecycle management of server and network hardware. // Administration and optimization of Linux-based systems, particularly Debian and Proxmox, at the infrastructure level. //
@JennyList the company I work for is bunch of nerds that run a datacentre, isp, cloud and more in Ede, NL. We're looking for a software developer

Ede is well connected by public transport. Utrecht is about half an hour and Amsterdam is an hour by train.
