Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hiring is the most important thing your company is going to do, so limiting the pool for a little bit (or more) of "hassle" doesn't look wise, at best.

We're one of few early-stage startups we know of that sponsor H1B's at all so we're quite unique in this regard. We have 3 out of our team of 12. But we have to focus on recruiting team-members that have the highest probability of getting an H1 visa ultimately and having a US Masters degree in a STEM discipline greatly increases these chances. This is a conversation for a different thread but wanted to clarify as you…

My mistake - I forgot about that lottery side of H1B...

Interesting that location affects salary. If you move to a location with lower living costs, is your salary cut?

Nothing wrong. This is standard industry practice. Check out glassdoor salaries for companies in diverse locations.

Face-less industry BigCo's is another thing.

Startups are more personal, small teams, that once in a while all of them, including the "boss", gather together to drink a beer or soda, and you know that on that table, people with same responsibilities have same compensations. It feels fair.

Impermium (https://www.impermium.com) - Redwood City, CA

Impermium is a leader in web security, protecting against account compromise, counterfeit registrations, and malicious activity. We generate a real-time risk profile for user activity, enabling sites to take immediate, proactive action against abuse.

On the engineering side, we are primarily a Python shop, although we use the Hadoop ecosystem extensively so there is some Java and we're playing around with Scala. We are a small company of about 15 who are easy-going and super fun to be around.

We're hiring for a couple positions right now, including:

* Senior Data Mining Research Engineer - We need someone who can go from a conversation about stochastic gradient boosting distributed decision trees to a prototype and from a prototype to a fast, scalable, and robust production model.

* Senior Software Engineer - You are an experienced, knowledgable developer who has a breadth of experience and can jump in and ship code on the first day. Experience with big data is a plus.

* UX Design Lead - You'll be leading our creative design and our user interaction from conception into production. We're particularly looking for designers who have a vision for big data visualizations.

You can view the actual postings (https://impermium.com/who-we-are/jobs/index). If any of them seem interesting, feel free to send me an email (realglitch@gmail.com).

Fetchnotes - Cambridge, MA. Interns and full-time. We make your notes and to do lists better, not just better organized. We have a really simple and effective product for keeping track of reminders, ideas, etc., but what I think is really exciting about our business is the R&D we're doing to automate those things or find relevant context/information. For example, you write down a book you want to look up, and we show…

Just a heads up, I went to fetchnotes.com in Firefox (23) and got nothing but a blank blue page with the following errors: http://i.imgur.com/zjBXqSx.png

Nevertheless, I checked out your site in Chrome and I'll send my application later today :)

We are building the index of Television.

Boxfish captures every word spoken on television, as it happens. We process the data in real-time and we use it as a new layer of discovery for television.
