My experience: ~2 years working for a company here in NY, went from doing grunt work to Software Engineer in title before my dept. got scrapped during a downsize. I've got a small contribution that made it all the way to the Django 1.8 release (woo!), I've built a moderately complex web app / desktop app combo project on my own, and for the past ~four months have been doing Python/Django work professionally doing some fairly basic CRUD stuff for a few internal apps. I was working on building a thermometer/humidity sensor on a rpi and hooking that into some internal reporting stuff (for science) when my dept. dissolved (which sucks, because it was fun). Buzzword soup: Python/Django/Django Rest Framework/HTML/CSS/SASS/Git/Linux/postgres/nginx/gunicorn/elasticsearch/celery/probably other stuff I'm forgetting. What I'm looking for: A Jr. role doing Python/Django stuff is probably what I am best prepared for. I have some experience, but not a ton, and I feel like I'd probably still perform best in that kind of a role. Willing to learn other languages/break out of my comfort zone and I'm pretty good at consulting SO/docs/coworkers in roughly that order at this point in my life so bring it ooonnnnnn. What I'm NOT looking for: Fights, the holy grail, etc. Where I live: Brooklyn, NY Where I'm looking: NY, SF, Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, Dublin, you name it. I'll go anywhere interesting so long as relocation assistance is provided and speaking English in the workplace is OK. When I can start: ASAP Requirements: FT, health insurance, decent pay (need to kill these student loan debts). Can be reached via: PM, or marchharesa@gmail.com - I'll reply from my actual email address.

Job Seeker Education - Self-taught, ~6 years of undergrad mostly in architecture–but not an architect. Experience - ~3.5 yrs of professional experience shipping Python mostly on the web, but also a bit of hardware stuff. My first job involved mostly writing Python to interface with hardware (micrometers, sensors of many kinds, 3D printers). I additionally wrote/took ownership of some internal tools in Django/Flask that were all small-scale and never actually deployed anywhere. At my current job I have designed and implemented a super specific and weird image diffing algorithm, helped bring our main app and infrastructure into HIPAA compliance, designed and documented our team's coding and testing standards (happy to say we have gone from literally 0% coverage of hundreds of thousands of lines of code to about 35% in a year!), co-authored the companies first service which teased all file storage/retrieval operations out of our ~8 year old Django monolith to more easily facilitate HIPAA compliance stuff, and most recently have been building a service to redact audio from calls while (slowly) working to write the first batch of functional tests to take some load off of our one poor QA employee who is now pregnant in addition to overworked. In my spare time I've been learning some Elixir, mostly because I wanted to give functional programming a go, but also because the BEAM is cool as hell. I've been working on building a miniature robotic zen garden whose rake is controlled by Twitch chat. I've got motor control working via a raspberry pi and some stepper controllers, working now on building the chat parser in Elixir. Where I'm looking - NYC/Brooklyn/Remote What I'm Looking For - Super open to working remotely, have plenty of experience doing so (including with globally distributed teams). Bonus points if your company is doing something cool and/or you are NASA. Reasonably language agnostic (see below), but wouldn't mind taking a stab at doing some FP stuff professionally as long as you don't mind my taking an extra minute to get up to speed. What I'm not looking for - Ideally I will never write a single line of Javascript at my next job. Additionally, if you are located somewhere that requires me to take PATH, NJ Transit, or Amtrak I'm going to have to decline. Been doing a 4hr commute every Monday for almost 2 years now, would like to switch it up. That said, I don't mind occasional travel. If you have an office I can go to in NYC, or are a remote shop, but a few times a year you need me to fly to CA or China or something that's no big deal. When can I start - Julyish I suppose. Requirements - Solid salary, a place that respects 40 hour work weeks, normal FT benefits and, most importantly, good coworkers–specifically ones who are nice and cool people (like me!).

Verisimilidude posted:Hey everyone, You should be asking for more than 60/yr in NYC, even as a fresh bootcamp grad. I know it might seem weird to walk around asking people for a ton of money when you feel like you maybe aren't worth it, but just have faith that you are! (Not just talking out of my rear end here. I have a few friends in NYC who were bootcamp grads within the last couple of years. All of them took first jobs at or just under 100k and I don't think the market has changed.)

I don't want to barge in like a contrarian dickhead but I am confused because I keep hearing about competent-seeming people applying to thousands of jobs with abysmal hitrates and it doesn't line up with my experience or the experience of peers I speak to. Concretely, I had no trouble at all getting interviews 9 months ago. I have about 10 years experience on my resume and would consider myself below average compared to the people I've worked with in the past. Looking at my spreadsheet, I sent out about 20 carefully-selected applications before getting my current job and saw about a 20% interview hit-rate. All interviews went through final rounds, but of those I only received offers from my current job and one other (so 50% success rate, which is lucky for me over my lifetime but small sample here as current job was an absolute perfect fit so I stopped interviewing). Zero of my applications were sent out via Linkedin or Monster or Indeed listings or whatever. I either reached out directly to recruiters I have relationships with or to companies via smaller job boards or their websites. None of the interviews came from my personal network and all of the jobs I picked were for senior web, FT remote, paying north of 160 w/ normal benefits. I live in NYC and keep up with friends/former coworkers in the area and everyone is reporting similar experiences back to me over the last year or so. I'm curious to hear what people applying to thousands of jobs and hearing nothing think the difference might be between what I've seen and heard and what they are experiencing. Is it a location thing, a strategy thing, a sector thing? Maybe some combination?
