part of me is debating applying to smaller companies partly because I could use a raise cause I'm underpaid and can't rely on getting one (I also haven't interviewed in a long rear end time so practice helps), but in more general terms the companies would probably all be downgrades so it feels like why bother :\

I sent my resume out for the hell of it to one place where I could do c# remotely, mostly just to get a sense of how strong it looks to other companies these days, and had a response (presumably from the CEO) within a few hours (this is pared down in spots so as to not copy it wholesale) "interview process involves several steps...first step is a four hour project...at home on your own computer and using the tools you're most familiar with...two versions of the small project: - backend project focused on basic data processing in C# using ASP.NET MVC. - frontend engineering project where you'll be working with HTML/CSS/your preferred Javascript framework; requires a small backend API (preferably written in C#) If your project is strong, we will schedule a project debrief with our team...will ask you questions about your code. ...final stage is a half day of interviews with our engineering team (each one 30-60 minutes)...will cover areas including your past work, programming fundamentals, skills required to work effectively in an engineering team, as well as cultural and mission alignment." so I can use "the tools I'm familiar with" as long as it's what they say I should use. I haven't written a line of html/css/js in like three years and I've barely touched asp.net mvc, although I could probably figure it out, but this process is first four hours which is realistically 8-10 to do right if you haven't touched the framework, get grilled on said code, then get grilled further for half a day interviews are garbage

The Management posted:take home projects should clearly have no practical application. I'm not doing free work for you. to me the short of it is that I've never used asp.net mvc and it should be pretty clear from my resume that I haven't. otoh, I have worked on oss and there's virtually no reason I should need to do a take home when past work is publicly visible. if someone wants to question me on aspects of it, they can go right ahead, but I'd expect them to do that any way. the funny/lovely thing is that the job posting explicitly mentioned contributions to oss yet apparently they aren't even taking it into consideration when interviewing.

Maximo Roboto posted:Glassdoor, LinkedIn Careers, Stack Overflow Jobs. Hacker News Who's Hiring? pages but it seems like the listings are heavily int'l and in American non-tech cities these days SO is the one I will unequivocally recommend every time. Most of the companies on there will be smaller but there's usually a number of good options depending on what sort of position/location you're looking for and they make remote opportunities very clear. HN has a ton of companies posting now but after you've seen a few months' worth of threads you'll start to notice that a very large number of the same companies will post the same positions month in and month out, meaning they're not hiring and trying to keep up appearances or maybe they're just expecting too much because it's the HN crowd and they must all be 100x developers.

VOTE YES ON 69 posted:HN who's his hiring + the yc alumni job posts are all pretty good. Weworkremotely is good for remote. A lot of the alumni posts are rehashes as well that are just more publicly visible. WeWorkRemotely is okay but most of the dev jobs are still Ruby/JS/PHP the last I was aware and SO is way better now on remote listings. FamDav posted:alternatively they are hiring and they nobody is willing to take the job This too is possible if not likely

MALE SHOEGAZE posted:cool, that's good to know. i was very dispirited looking at housing and seeing nothing but McHouses and Condos, but that probably can't be helped. i had pretty good mexican food at a place in what was iirc near downtown phoenix the airport is pretty bad and you really do have to drive everywhere. f you want to be in downtown phoenix you can probably get something decent for cheap. it seems extremely boring there though so unless you really like the family you have in that area i wouldn't move if you aren't feeling super great about it to begin with. also they have dashboard carpets in their cars because the heat will destroy them within a year or two otherwise. lmao

MALE SHOEGAZE posted:i had been paying into a stock purchase program that only vests (or whatever) every 6 months so i just got refunded all that money. so i actually lost out on maybe a grand (but saved myself the hassle of having to sell stocks). i can't figure out if espps are particularly worth it. unless you can drop very large amounts in i feel like it's better to just max out your 401k and save?
