The 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.
Four ways to spend a day
Pick the depth
that fits you.
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 €220
Lifestyle
A day inside a chef's kitchen, a founder's morning, a designer's weekend. Real lifestyle, not lifestyle content.
