How to find an actual programming job? [closed]
I want to program in C in exchange for money, but I'm starting to suspect that large companies (in the EU) don't want me to do that at all, in fact they have an endless supply of ways to stop me from programming: all kinds of trainings that aren't relevant to my tasks, paperwork, meetings, formal steps to be allowed to get anything done, reporting which days and how long I work in 5 different places, all the things that I hate. So the question is how do I find a job that is actually about programming/mathematics? From my limited experience I assume that all companies like the one I work for function in a similar way, and logically a smaller company should probably be the kind of place I'd be looking for, but when I look for C developer jobs at least in Poland it's all the same: big industrial companies offering embedded microcontroller dev jobs. I've had random people pay me to make programs and while that was great those things just randomly fell into my lap infrequently, paid much less than I get at this company and everything was done in just a few weeks. I don't need absolute job security and I don't need (nor want) a job that makes me work full time all year round, I don't even have financial goals beyond not running out of money, I just want money in exchange for programming. But where are these (presumably small) companies in the EU that just need a guy to lay lots of code?
