The would-be start date isn't the weird part. What's not normal is paying over €30k euros + almost an entire year of living costs (and traveling/hotels) before you get even a wiff of cash, nevermind an actual employment contract in a world and primarily an industry that changes almost daily.. That's the weird part!
The company bears zero risk and dumps it all the cadet. This is absolutely unfair. In normal times you had no assurance of an employment contract but they had a bond over you which meant they invested in you and that was enough for people, myself included to sign on. Not to mention you got paid a training salary day one.
Now, nothing. Gambling that much money is not for the faint of heart.
