Wow, I can't believe how quickly this site activated my inner voyeur. I'm a CTO (Rails), and I currently make $20,000 in San Francisco. I'm ONLY interested in jobs as a Rails Engineer that pay at least $100,000 in The Bay Area.
I'm assuming the $20k he/she works at a early stage startup. There are CTOs that are working for $0 and all equity.
It struck me as odd that I would want to hire people this way. As far as I can tell everyone is just asking for more money (big surprise, I know) but it says nothing about what they want to do, are interested in, etc. Do I just blindly reach out to a bunch of people and hope they match my needs?
True, it also states the person has no loyalty to their current employer if it means an extra $10k a year. This could be a red flag for some, or an opportunity. I am not in the programming business, so wonder what the turnover rate is at tech firms.
Or they can heavily encourage it, with vesting stock options, seniority based raises/promotions, etc.
Relying on "loyalty" to keep people when the employer has shown none (an employment contract that has penalties if you're laid off? Only for senior execs) is just a bad idea.
This is nice, but could you add an option to indicate that I only want to deal technically proficient people? In fact, I would pay a few bucks up-front if you could somehow assure that I would only be put in contact with technical people that actually work for the company doing the hiring (no recruiters at all). And I'd pay to validate that I satisfy that requirement from the hiring side as well.
Minor bug report: I tried to fill it out with the 'links' browser. I didn't see the captcha so I did not get a confirmation email but the app did seem to retain my email address so I cannot delete the old one to resubmit when I use a GUI browser. As an aside, I really like this because of how people don't talk about how much they make. When I see someone makes $164000 as a pen tester in Mountain View and I make a sma…
After posting and reading all the other listings. I've realized I'm one of the few hardware guys on HN. Any other hardware/low-level guys out there?
I'm as comfortable doing embedded C as I am Ruby.
