IGNITE Apprenticeship Program

[LV5]

Hello, I'd like to apply to the IGNITE Apprenticeship Program 2019-2020 from Dropbox. I have a few questions. What is the salary per month? What programming language(s) will apprentices use?. Thanks very much

[Walter]

Hey there @LV5 - welcome to our Community! 

I understand you're interested in joining the IGNITE Apprenticeship Program and you were wondering about the monthly salary and the programming languages that are going to be used by the apprentices.

While I won't be able to help with such queries here, I found the following link through which you'll find more information about this program:

I hope this helps to some extent and please let me know if you have any questions. 

Thank you!

Hello, I knew that information. Whom can I contact to get answers to these two questions? Thank you

[Walter]

I'm checking with the team on this one @LV5 - thanks for the nudge!

I'll let you know once I have an update.

Have a lovely weekend in the meantime!

Hello again @LV5 - how are you today?

I've checked back with the team and I'm happy to let you know that apprentices will use the language(s) we at Dropbox are using. Depending on the team that's usually one of Python, Go and JavaScript while the mobile teams use Swift and Kotlin.

When it comes to your second concern, I can confirm that apprentices will be paid a monthly salary while applicants can discuss this directly during the recruitment period.

Hope that helps!

Hi Walter,

I just applied for the Dropbox Ignite Apprenticeship Program. How can I confirm that my application was received? Also, I noticed that there's a coding challenge. When will we be given information about completing the coding challenge and is there anything we can do to prepare?

Thanks!

Hi @Walter -  how can we confirm our application was received?

[Daphne]

Hey @sadev, apologies for the tardy reply here!

You should have received a confirmation email after applying for the position. We don't currently have any info to share about the coding challenge but you should be notified of the status of your application by mid-September.

I hope that helps to clarify the matter - Thanks!
