Jello Labs - Senior Engineer - New York City - http://jellolabs.com/jobs (fulltime, onsite) ----------------------- We are changing the way mobile eCommerce works.

On Wednesday nights, we play board games.

I know you may think this is a positive attribute -- but it actually comes off as a turn off to anyone who doesn't happen to that particular extracurricular interest -- or who who happens to have some semblance of a life outside the office (like kids, say).

> I'm an experienced dev (3+ years ... This is still "barely out of school, hardly knows what he's doing" stage :) Edit - downvote me all you want, but if you are to show up on the interview and declare that you are in an "experienced dev (with 3+ years)", the interview will conclude quickly. It's not that you have just three years of experience, it's the fact that you think it's a lot. It's not. This makes you cocky…

Experience is relative. Compared to a 15+ year veteran sure, this guy's but a baby in the crib. But he's still a baby in the crib with recruiters beating down his door left, right, and center, none of whom are expecting him to quit his job for a vague, conditional offer of employment. This isn't about who deserves what, this is about the market conditions. Right now the market conditions are such that even devs with…

Just because (some) recruiters may be "beating down his door" doesn't mean he's qualified for those jobs. Recruiters routinely overfit, just to cram as many resumes and profiles into their hiring funnels as possible. Throw it at the wall, see if it sticks.

Being as 90% of them can't tell the wheat from the chaff to save their skins, they have no other choice, really.

Mother of god I'm an Android/iOS/BB developer and I make 45k a year with 0 benefits whatsoever. I put in my two weeks notice two weeks ago! I would cry if I was paid this much.

Which city, country?

Toronto, Ontario, @ the biggest bank in Canada.

The average salary for developers is roughly in 80-100k. As a recent grad, almost all of my peers were in the 60-125k range. The only salary I've seen that was grossly under the average was 48k- but that was expected.. the employer was TXDOT. Edit: Please assess your contributions and value yourself at market value. Having a conversation with your manager about your market value should yield a higher salary that is c…

He said I'm "lucky to make this much" because I have no education, despite nobody else on the team being able to successfully and efficiently replace me. I'm leaving in one month, only because the project is wrapping up at that time and it would be pointless to quit earlier. I can't wait.

SEEKING WORK - NY Area - Remote or Local - Long or Short Term Projects

These that I love (php,perl,c++,shell script,python, c objetivo,jQuery e java (android),linux,unix ) this is the environment where i feel at home. I know all the quirks of the language, and i know how to write the most optimized code.

Object oriented development – familiar with MVC to the point where you get offended when you see code mixed. MySQL – I know how to take advantage of MySQL. I know its limitations and know how to best optimize your queries. In other words, if i can follow instructions well but also enjoy coming up with my own solutions and ideas, i might be the Programmer we’re looking for!

Dude, you should brag about your approach to private offices, like your designer wrote about:

http://blog.circleci.com/silence-is-for-the-weak/

It reminds me of Joel Spolsky's articles on their approach to workspaces.

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FieldGuidetoDeveloper...

It's so rare to find a workplace in SF that's not an open office plan that some of the most productive people retreat to remote work just to get shit done in their home office, like Rands did with his Nerd Cave:

http://randsinrepose.com/archives/a-nerd-in-a-cave/

Talking about the productivity of private offices could be a major attractor, the way Microsoft way back in the day had a big poster for college recruiting that was a photo of a door and the words "you'll get one of these" on it.
