Hey, I know you occasionally take interns. Are you still open to that?

Absolutely. We don't have an ad up for internships specifically (we probably should!), but you can fill out the backend application and mention you're looking for an internship :)

What kind of salary you would offer to these interns?

Oh man, the only C# job on here and it's US only. Time to learn {Go, Rust, Python, Ruby}, I guess.

There are now a shit tonne of C# postings. No need to learn those inferior languages.

It's not that they're necessarily inferior, it's that I don't have 3-5 years spare to get really good at those languages

We're expanding our globally distributed DevOps team. You will be using Nix/NixOS to glue together a stack of Go, Memcached, MySQL, PHP, Solr and more. A coding test is the biggest deciding factor. After that we'll chat, call and optionall…

Hey,

Is it vital to complete the coding test in Haskell/PHP stack hosted on NixOS? What if I do the same thing on a Ruby (Rails) stack, with a Vagrantfile, would it still be considered?

>The interview process is several phone screens, a take home coding challenge, and finally an on-site interview. It has become really arduous to switch tech jobs these days. I've been spending close to 20-25hrs/job-application even before on-site interview which is another 2 days of time sink. I've used up a major chunk of my vacation this point just for tech interviews. Feel angry and powerless. Maybe next year!!

There's a massive surplus of SW engineers, developers, designers, etc. Wages have gone down a bit and you should expect more or this hoop jumping B.s.

According to the US Department of Labor: "Employment of software developers is projected to grow 17 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. The main reason for the rapid growth is a large increase in the demand for computer software." [1] Then again, that same page also claims the median salary for a software developer is $100K...

From what I have seen, many companies do indeed complain about a shortage of developers, yet their actions are completely at odds with this.

Your post says "ONSITE INTERNS", but there is no place on your website to apply for or email to inquire about the internship position. I sent an email last month and no response. Are you looking for interns?

Small, start-up like environment. At Wal-Mart, a Fortune-1 company. Think about it. (Also, having worked there ... um ... no. The place is worse than Oracle.)

I've actually heard really positive things about Walmart Labs from the Node community. They've even built and open sourced the popular framework hapi ( http://hapijs.com ).

Nearly every single one of those guys has left, and for very good reason. Ask around.

Secure Mission Solutions | Full Time | REMOTE We are a team of about fourteen developers and sys admins. We are looking to hire an additional software developer with strong Unix/Linux skills and (if possible) a good knowledge of computer security. We work from home and communicate via text and video chat. We work 40-hour weeks with flexible hours, but we try to overlap as much as possible with 10am-4pm Eastern Time.…

It sounded like such a perfect fit, and then: > Must be US citizen living in the US and able to obtain a security clearance

So the standard for remote jobs that are interesting and pay well.
