I am a Polish student, doing Masters degree in computer science at the University of Gdańsk. I have been looking for my first job in tech since 2022, with breaks in between. I am into Computer Science since I was 10, now I am 25 yo. I am not really sure how much my inability to find entry level job is due to me, and how much is due to the market, but I feel like it is both. I have got multiple online interviews, and one on-site. I am mostly into scripting languages (Python, Typescript), and front-end, but I feel like I could learn and do anything that is Computer Science related. I am diagnosed with ADHD and high functioning autism / Aspergers. Feel free to manipulate the market by giving me career advise ;)

Resolution criteria

• Resolves to the calendar date (Europe/Warsaw local time) on which I accept in writing a paid offer for a technical role, or the date I begin paid work under such an offer/contract—whichever happens first. “Accept in writing” = I send a written acceptance (email or e‑signature) of a documented offer/contract.

• Qualifying roles: software engineering (frontend/backend/full‑stack), data (analytics/engineering/science/ML), QA/Test, DevOps/SRE, security, or similar hands‑on technical roles. Remote or on‑site; Poland or abroad.

• Must be paid and at least one of: (a) employment contract, (b) paid internship or part‑time/contract of expected duration ≥3 months and average ≥20 hours/week. Excludes unpaid roles, purely non‑technical roles (e.g., sales/CS), self‑employment without an external client, or gigs <40 total paid hours.

• Evidence to be posted in a market comment: one or more of (redactions allowed) (i) signed offer/contract showing role, company, and acceptance date; (ii) HR/email thread showing the written offer and my acceptance; (iii) public LinkedIn “Started new position” update linking to the employer; (iv) employer announcement listing me. If multiple qualifying offers occur, the earliest acceptance date is used. If an accepted offer is later rescinded, the market still resolves to the acceptance date.

• Public verifiability preferred via LinkedIn profile/update or employer site. Examples: https://www.linkedin.com/

Background

• I’m a Polish master’s student in CS at the University of Gdańsk, mainly using Python/TypeScript and leaning frontend.

• Poland’s IT job market rebounded in 1H 2025 (offers up ~68–70% YoY on justjoin.it), but junior roles remain scarce—about 5.9% of listings—so competition for entry‑level roles is still intense. (polandinsight.com, biznes.pap.pl, crn.pl, brandsit.pl)

• Frontend has been particularly crowded; in 2024 NFJ reported a 20% YoY decline in frontend ads and high applicants per listing, while demand grew faster in data, security, and AI‑related categories. (nofluffjobs.com)

Considerations

• Counting paid internships and substantial part‑time/B2B contracts (per criteria) increases the number of qualifying pathways to resolution.

• Targeting data/AI, security, DevOps, or backend may have better odds than pure frontend in the current Polish market. (polandinsight.com, nofluffjobs.com)

• Hybrid and remote roles are both common; being open to either (including EU‑remote) can materially accelerate resolution. (brandsit.pl)
