Go to linkedin and find jobs from starts ups which wants to hire volunteer or free internship.
Here, you can learn team communication, how they work together, skills, agile methodology etc
I am a CTO at a company and hired some as internship.
They're so passionate but code quality was not good. but was good for listening their ideas.. Lol
Good luck

Consider being paid as a contractor. It makes things much cheaper for companies. The experience you would gain deserve a compensation. If you really feel like not involving money for some reason, consider contributing to open-source.

If you want to "work for free", be a volunteer for some kind of non profit organization ;)

Never work for free if someone earns money from that : you deserve a part of this money.

As others have said, never work for free. You can work for cheap, but never for free.

Working on your own project or on OSS, won't be for payment, but its value lies in that it gives you a body of work to show your abilities to potential employers.

Are you familiar with React? We are looking for some help on our startup where we have an app but myself as the only developer am a bit overloaded with my job and can't dedicate as much time

Bro I think you should work on open source projects or be a freelancer so you can learn and practice your skills while earning a little cash. You can use a platform like Fiverr.

The best thing you can do is to browse beautiful open-source projects mainly in #cloudcomputing, #cloudgovernance, #cybersecurity, #cloudcompliance; just search for it. I do contribute to add to my experience, but at the same time, I work for my bread and butter. Good luck. Reach out if you need any above-stack project references, which are growing fast in this domain.

Don't.

If you just want experience - as the others have already said - contribute to OSS. Otherwise, take paid internships or trainee jobs. Don't give away your time for free in hopes of moving up - you'll end up undervaluing your own work later.
