Master's student in Applied Informatics looking for DevOps/Cybersec student jobs (Bratislava/Remote) – How do I find a good company?
Hey guys!
I’m currently a Master's student in Applied Informatics, graduating next year. I'm trying to find a solid student job or internship where I can start working now and hopefully transition into a full-time role after graduation.
My Interests & Current Skills:
I am highly interested in Cybersecurity and DevOps. I’m very proactive about learning outside of university:
I run a homelab and manage 3 VPSes to practice and learn new skills.
In my free time, I actively train on TryHackMe and OverTheWire.
Whenever I find an interesting new open-source project or tool, I deploy and test it on my own setup.
My Work Experience:
System Administrator: Worked during and after the COVID period.
Technical Support: Worked at Tesco Business Solutions in Budapest.
Current Role: I am currently working in Bratislava, but unfortunately, the company is letting me go because they believe AI will replace my position.
What I'm Looking For:
I want to find a "normal," stable company where I can actually grow my skills, provide value, and make some decent money on the side while finishing my Master's.
My questions for you:
Where is the best place to find good student jobs/internships for DevOps or Cybersec right now?
With my homelab/Sysadmin background, what specific roles should I be targeting to get my foot in the door?
Any general advice on how to stand out?
Thanks in advance!
