Santa Monica, CA (Los Angeles area) also possibly SF Bay area or other cities, but most jobs are in Santa Monica.

I tried working with financial recruiters at the very beginning and realized that the type of candidates they present are really interested in a cushy job with a strong salary and significant returns on the upside and no downside risk, which puts my risk control desires at odds with their profit desires. If I come off as arrogant I sincerely apologize. As a person, I am not particularly arrogant. With regards to some…

This is the second story about a "drone" that I've heard in 3 days. I'm surprised that people like this slip by and linger without providing much value . . .

There was a time, as late as 5 to 10 years ago, where people were needed in the process. Nowadays, the same motions are being repeated because those people don't want to lose their jobs. And they are sufficiently low cost (250K is paltry for a 100M business) that the institutions themselves aren't really incentivized to streamline.

This looks like a quite a example of arrogance. Remember the more egoistic you are , more you double your chances of failure. Just a advice , take on its face value.

I honestly don't see what aspect of that post is arrogant? Could you elaborate, because if there is something in there and I don't see it, I don't want to make the same mistake (I'm not be sarcastic!)

Are you hiring front-end engineers?

Note: This company usually does not respond to applicants. I applied for a few positions over the year and never heard back.

I applied for an internship and got two interviews, but they seemed pretty disorganized. They often called at different times from what they said they would (usually when I was in class). They also had to reschedule the interviews several times. The initial informational phone call I also got twice which was strange (about half way through the second one I mentioned she had called the day before with the same information). Seems like a fun place to work though and the interviewers were great.

Really REMOTE. You don't even have to be in the USA. deviantART ( http://www.deviantart.com ) wants developers. We're fully remote[1]; there's no central office with a devteam located there. We expect all hires to be comfortable working in PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL; we like our developers to be able to hack on any part of the site, rather than being frontend/backend specialists. One exception to all that: there's…

Note: I've applied to this opportunity before. Did not receive a response. Funny to see it posted again... Maybe they are looking for something different than "PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL"? Hard to say...

I would love for someone to put together a weekend project where people can anonymously list where they apply and if they ever got a response.
