http://zonino.co.uk - We had a stab at building our own that mined jobs directly from the websites of (London) startups. It's mothballed so the data is all out of date but I still think the UI is a good example of how job searching should be really simple and uncluttered.

https://www.nofluffjobs.com/ is pretty nice

It is but for some reason it showed solely Polish jobs to me.

In fact it's a Polish project. They've disrupted dev job boards market in Poland, mainly because salary range strict requirement. IMO their Sales should focus more on bringing international offers because this project have a huge potential.

I started https://www.latitude.work with the goal of featuring quality opportunities for other software engineers in a way that puts the information up front that's important to us. I stayed away from only having paid listings since that seems like a race to the bottom and am focusing on having a great experience for engineers. Would love any feedback on it.

> minimum income: $420,000 Not bad! However, I imagine there's robots gearing up for this type of job.

Realistically I'm 24, can I still make this career switch? Anybody have insight? No college education. Can I make it by 35? The ROI is much better than development.

Isn't the 420k min partly to compensate for the amount of responsibility and liability, thus stress, if anything goes wrong?

Two best one from Russia: hh.ru - Russian Linkedin. Main difference - works 10 times as fast( while having a quadriple amount of lines in JS ), best UI of any "webapp" I've ever seen for both mobile and desktop versions. moikrug.ru - used to be an amateur blogging website/semi-opensource project to which I contributed at around 2006-2007. Now after being resold and respun 10 times over, it has been turned into a job…

> hh.ru - Russian Linkedin I'm genuinely impressed. Do you know what is their technology stack?

F/E:

Handwritten ES5 to big extend. They are very choosy on use of browser features and amount of fallbacks they bundle (no point of using polyfills if they work at 1/10th of native speed.) They carved out some of react core code for event handling, and use 3rd party remote JS debugging lib. Everything else was developed in house over the course of 20 years. Some of their front-end code featuring seemingly new approaches to handling JS, can easily be written over 10 years ago as they were one of web 2.0 pioneers.

On the backend side, they are a Java shop with immediate front-end interaction being partly handled by purpose built API servers on C++.

Nurse anesticist is a better "value". The catch is that the education is extremely difficult and expensive.

Also, you have long term risk of cancer and other nasties from exposure to the chemicals.
