Bootstrap took me roughly 5 minutes to pick up, and my experience before this job was back end/app stuff. I'm now 'full stack'. Are people that averse to training?

Recruiters don't know how to gauge whether someone is a good problem solver so they just look for keywords and buzzwords, and Bootstrap is very buzzwordy right now.

Well sometimes you end up in jobs where the only two languages are javascript / Perl, and the lead developer has a ban on jQuery/bootstrap/backbone

Yeah I told the recruiter that I couldn't imagine it taking anyone more than a day to learn (assuming they're at least somewhat familiar with CSS/HTML). She was kind of stunned and said that I shouldn't be telling her that.

Yeah I mean if you can't familiarize yourself with Bootstrap in a day with even the most basic understanding of HTML/CSS/JS then you probably shouldn't be in this industry. I feel the same way about jQuery as well, kinda. The more in-depth frameworks are obviously way different, and I could see Backbone/Angular and even Node being really valuable right now. Recruiters are generally just really bad at gauging talent in this industry.

My last two jobs were developing Windows applications, including WPF development. But I'm learning web development at the moment because there seems to be more demand for that, at least in places that are more than just "internal one-man-show developer for non-development-related corporation that hates your guts because you're expensive."

Don Mega posted:Recruiters are generally a waste of time but sometimes they get you a job so it's worth putting up with their crap. I was happy using a recruiter to get me my first development gig. I had no experience and no education so he was really the only way I actually got interviews. I went back to him for this latest job search and he was utterly awful. Didn't understand the kind of position I was looking for, from work environment to technologies used, etc. I told him that we wouldn't be looking for companies that weren't open to relocation and the first phone interview he sets up for me is with a company who refused to pay for my flight for an in person interview. Terrible. Oh if we are doing a CoC census I do full stack .NET, but my focus is on the web side, mostly MVC and WebAPI.

I'm technically not a developer anymore, I'm a "software development consultant". My last few jobs have been as full-stack developers, but the last big project I worked on was mostly a back-end service with a 'thick client' front end that was both standalone and a Visual Studio plugin. I'll be a developer again within 2 years, guaranteed. I miss it too much.

I'm a C++ developer who works in enterprise content management focusing on our RDBMS data model. I haven't done a lot of work-a-day development for the last couple years since I was promoted to my current role: manager of about a dozen other [mainly] C++ developers. My software development work these days is chiefly design and prototyping with the occasional "oh poo poo huge customer issue and the owning team is swamped so ~code~"

I'm an Android developer who used to do C# (desktop applications) for a few years and even though it's still easily my favourite language I really wanted to get into mobile and Windows Phone is poo poo and I am something of an Android nut so I switched back to Java and went with that. Currently looking for a new position because it turns out working for an agency where your only meaningful client is a huge bank is a soul-crushingly terrible exercise in bureaucracy and tedium. Plus I'm getting underpaid. Plus literally half of my team has quit since I joined four months ago. I'm mostly just finding a million web dev jobs and it's not really something that interests me.

Some of my older relatives have assured me that eventually I will tire of solving technical problems and develop a desire to move into management where I will instead solve interpersonal problems. I can't even imagine it. I'm not dumb enough to discount their remarks; what the hell do I know about what I'm going to be like in thirty years? But none of them are or were engineers. I've been fiddling with technology literally as far back as I can remember. I have never not wanted to learn more about it and how to manipulate it. The thought of any kind of management role is repulsive to me right now, and I can't begin to imagine what kind of trauma I'd have to go through for that to change significantly.

This is why there's been a recent trend of companies setting up a parallel track of engineering pay grades. You as an engineer don't feel like you've peaked out, and in theory they don't have good developers turn into lovely managers because that was the only way for them to progress.

Is that anecdotal, or based on some sort of actual study? The architect-type technical roles are parallel to management, so the pay should be roughly the same. There are less architect/lead/principle roles out there, so I would agree it's probably easier to go into management. But if it's something for which you have no desire or aptitude, you can still advance your career.
