Are you open for people outside US ?

Recently got diagnosed with generalized anxiety just 2 years after getting promoted as a Eng. Manager. It seems that I am stuck in a vicious circle where my work woes keep me from …

If they were not applying because salary ranges were too low for them they would have ended up rejecting your offer in any case. So to me it looks like you saved time and resources…

I mean isn't this just how fiction supposed to be ? I am sure you can find a huge number of "modern day devices" mentioned in science-fiction of yesteryears as well. All inventions…

It is baffling that 90% of job postings out there or even on hackernews' who is hiring threads do not provide the salary ranges that's on the table. As a senior eng/data scientist …
