Inquiry regarding Remote Learning and Mentorship Opportunities

[Dawidkay]

Dear Spotify Team,

Recently I've begun my programming journey, focusing on backend development. Spotify has been an immense source of inspiration for me, as there hasn't been a day without me using Spotify to listen to music. The impact that a single piece of software has had on my life is remarkable, and it’s the kind of influence I aspire to achieve as a programmer myself one day.

I would like to kindly inquire if there are opportunities for internships at entry level such as mine, mentorship, or access to educational resources at Spotify, either in Poland or remotely. Despite the fact that I'm just starting, I am very motivated to learn and develop my skills in a practical setting. Any form of support would be incredibly valuable to me.

I would greatly appreciate any information regarding available opportunities and any steps I can take to better prepare for future challenges.

Thank you so much for your time, and I look forward to the possibility of further contact.

Best regards,

[Kiril]

Hey @Dawidkay,

Thanks for posting in the Community! I've moved your post to this help board because it doesn't qualify as a valid idea. 

I get that you're interested in a possible career development connected with Spotify and that you want to become more than a fan of the app. That's really awesome and actually there is a site just for that. Check it out here. 

If there are no internship offers at the moment, please do not despair and just keep on monitoring that page, as it gets updated on a regular basis. 

Hope this helps clarify things. Don't hesitate to give us a shout if there's anything else we can help with.

Hey @Kiril,

I really appreciate reaching out to me. I've have been going through career page, for quite some time already, but I couldn't find what I was hoping for.

I've reached out Spotify support earlier, and I've been told to post Inquiry here, since it's bit unusual, as I am completely new to IT, and I was really hoping for something that I could ask for that would help me develop myself in this field, such as Mentoring, Educational Resources, or entry level Internship, except all the Internships I saw would be for more experienced developers. Nonetheless I am extremely motivated and eager to learn, I'd love to develop my passion for coding and contribute to Spotify. I was really hoping I could get a helping hand moving forward.
