Test-drive a company

Your paths on Exminds
Two ways to grow now,
one path forward.
However you want to move, it starts here. Audition inside real companies, sharpen your craft one-on-one with people who do the job — then, when you're ready, switch sides and teach.
Level up 1:1, in real life
Book real-world 1:1 sessions (Hands-on, Shadowing, Mentoring) with experts who actually do the job you want — sharpen your skills face-to-face.
Upgrade to Exminder when you're ready
Once you've built real expertise, flip to the other side: host your own day, share what you know, and get paid for it.
Become an ExminderThe problem
You're applying blind.
They're hiring blind.
Résumés disappear into black holes. A 30-minute interview hides everything that actually matters — the way the team argues, the energy at 5pm on a Friday, whether you'd lose your mind by month three. You're being asked to commit to a workplace you've never seen.

The Demo Day
Spend a day inside.
Then decide.
You browse Demo Days like you browse weekend plans — by team, role, vibe, city. You pick one, show up, and live a real workday from the inside: standups, lunch, sprint planning, the hard call at 4pm. By the end, your gut already knows the answer.
You don't write a cover letter. You feel the room.
How it works
Five steps,
no cover letter.
No résumé black hole, no 30-minute audition. Just one real day — and a decision you actually trust.
01
Browse Demo Days
Companies you'd actually consider. Filter by craft, city, vibe, calendar.
02
Request a spot
No application, no résumé. A short note about your curiosity is enough.
03
Show up for the day
Shadow real work, meet the real team. Standups, lunch, hard calls.
04
Decide for yourself
Does this culture match yours? Structured feedback both ways.
05
Apply only when you already belong
If both sides nod, an offer follows. If not — you learned more in a day than in three rounds.
Three ways to spend a day
Pick the depth
that fits you.
1:1 Mentoring
A focused conversation. Strategy, perspective, the question you've been avoiding. Walk in confused, walk out aligned.
from €90
Shadowing
You observe in real environments. How they work, think, decide. Standups, calls, the silence between meetings.
from €180
Immersive hands-on
You participate. Real projects, real workflows, real consequences. The deepest tier — the one that actually shifts careers.
from €220Why explorers love it
What you get
on the inside.

Spend a day inside companies — no strings attached.
Shadow professionals and learn hands-on, in real time. Just a simple NDA, no long-term commitment.

Work directly with professionals, absorb industry knowledge in real time, sharpen your skills in a dynamic, interactive setting.
Discover the reality behind different industries.
Get a behind-the-scenes view of the work that actually happens — so you make informed career decisions, not ones based on unrealistic expectations.

Grow on both sides
Explore today,
teach tomorrow.
The more you explore, the more you have to give. When you're ready, upgrade to become an Exminder yourself — pass on the knowledge you've gained, host your own sessions, and get paid for your time. Same you, two doors: keep learning from the best, and start being the expert someone else looks up to.
- Pass on what you've learned
- Host your own sessions, your way
- Get paid for your time and expertise
