Thanks, yes, for now. Canada will be added in couple of weeks, followed by countries in western Europe.

err, so a rich kids club?

The countries above may be rich, but we aren't! Focusing resources on one country at a time and expanding gradually among neighbors. Our goal is to have data for all major tech hubs globally, not just in US and Europe. And there also isn't anything wrong with building a service for the country you live in.

A checkbox for "VISA" or "INTERN" (like the who is hiring threads) could be really valuable. I like the UI, but what's the source for the 'total funding'?

Thanks, you can filter for Interns by title. Few postings explicitly mention whether they sponsor visa or definitely don't, so its tricky to determine, we would add it in our things we would like to do list.

"FANG" "Unicorn" "Incubators" "Corporate" Ah yes, the four company types. And that's all the company types there are. --- I think that "Famous" "Late" "Mid" "Early" "Seed" would be better categories. You could use Crunchbase or something similar to categorize by what round they are in. That still excludes bootstrapped companies but are much more sane categories in my opinion.

"Famous" "Late" "Mid" "Early" "Seed" are probably more sanitized and accurate but I would argue less fun. It will drive the employers crazy to not be included in 'Top brands' but as a user I know exactly what 'FANG + Top brands' means and I love it. Its refreshing to see a job board that's a little edgy and innovative.

On mobile the homepages animated "an individual contributor role." text overflows with the button placement. Also when typing in a filter for the location name, the site stutters. This is probably because the JS is trying to filter the whole list on each keypress. You could implement a slight delay before starting a search. I've previously implemented something similar by restarting a timer (clearTimeout + setTimeout…

We tried your suggestion, worked great. Its live now, thanks again!

The location search bar is particularly frustrating on my phone. Perhaps exacerbated since the site's under load? But it's appears to be kicking off an ajax request per keydown and not updating the input text until that request is completed. Very frustrating as I suck at typing on this danged phone and the feedback delay aggravates that.

We added a delay after each key press in the location filter, it should be easier to use now, please try when you get a chance.

Useful! I am not looking for a job, but on the other hand I like being updated on what is out there (with respect to my interests). Which means I will not go through the jobs now, but if I could define my filter/interests and then subscribe to get an email with job roles that are best fit, every week or 2 weeks or month, that would be interesting.
