Also, posting any internship opportunities would be greatly appreciated as well.
We're generally always interested in interns in Chicago and NYC; internships are paid positions, and the work involves application penetration testing, reverse engineering, and security tool development.

Is it a bad time to be looking for an internship?
At Disqus, we're looking for a front-end hero* . The candidate should be good at everything from visual and UI design to Javascript optimization. Email jobs@disqus.com. *hero is the new rockstar
Just for the record, if I were looking for a job, and you used hero (or ninja, or rockstar) in the title, I wouldn't take you guys seriously. This seems to be a common sentiment.
Here's a related question: I'll posit that there is a higher density of "very desirable" top-notch hackers being thrown into the job market than at any other time in my 15-year career. You know the people: the ones that rarely hit the normal job market because with one or two emails, they can line up their next gig in an afternoon throught their network or friends-of-friends.

Also keep in mind, how you run the interview process says volumes about what its like to work in your company. Taking > 2 weeks between responses shows lack of interest. Making a person have to "ask" for a plane ticket to come to the interview is a big turn off too. The interview process is a great time to show that you take care of your people and make it easy for them to do their jobs. Take care of us as candidates and we'll assume you'll take care of us as employees.
These are pet peeves. One other thing... communicate the type of position you're looking at putting the person in before lining up their in-person interviewers. I've had situations where I interviewed with people who did stuff I found interesting and I felt rapport with them. Likewise I had one company thought about putting me in a position completely wrong for my skills and the people I interviewed with had nothing in common. They later offered a position after the interview that was more in the right direction but this would have been good to figure out in a phone interview.
Thats my $.02.
Related question: I recently left my previous job and am now looking for consulting work. I have never done consulting before. I have RoR / Ruby / machine learning / startup experience. How should I go about finding clients?
In the Wash. DC area, the local Board of Trade had a lot of small companies that wanted to network for each other's services & business. Web devs should do pretty well there, or in similar orgs wherever you are. I did a bit of consulting years ago, for another software shop --- I think the general rule is network in the area that your customers are going to be.

Isn't the term "hero" used in _The Mythical Man Month_ to refer to the one talented individual that ends up saving the project? Thus, a "hero" is indicative of immature development process.
I'm QA & looking for a job any ideas?
