Please remove the unnecessary animation that locked up a tab here for several seconds.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the lag might have been mainly due to the page loading and rendering 400+ job rows at once and is not related to the animation, though there might also be some hydration issues with the animation. Agree that the lag isn't good UX, I will look into getting it fixed soon. Aside from the lag, I was hoping folks might appreciate the artistic of the animations where companies are resolving…

I've also got poor performance on a pixel 3a, but the freeze was only about 2 seconds.

As to the other, I never appreciate animations or scrolling hijinks on a website. It makes it harder to use and slows it down. But,I'm a grouchy old fucker.

Good work.

It occurs to me to wonder: is it going to end up being a general rule that SWE jobs that can be done remotely are going to pay less than SWE jobs that require specific geographic location or coming into the office over time? It feels like the naive supply-demand calculation suggests that a company willing to accept remote work has a much broader talent supply to draw from, which would lower labor cost.

Are those MS roles right? A "principal" engineer needs 6 YOE and makes $322k TC?

It's almost unheard of for there to be a 6 yoe principal but yes the money is right, Microsoft pays a lot lower than you'd expect if you went in thinking they pay like FAANG. And there's a massive cliff after 4 years due to virtually no refresher, there's principals who don't even crack 300k. (also principal is what other companies would call staff)

The first job I clicked on said this in the actual ad. This is a far cry from a remote job. The aggregator needs a little more tweaking: This role is based out of Reddit's office located in San Francisco. We will only consider candidates currently located in San Francisco, or currently within close commuting distance to the SF office. The role requires in-office work 4 days per week.

Its an aggregator which means its probably not perfect as its looking for keywords or something.

Sure, but "requires in-office" are keywords.

> Ghost jobs do also exist. I don’t know about that. A lot of times companies will already have someone they want but they have to post a job listing for X days before they can fulfill it. Full time hire process can take a long time and is why contract to hire can get you in the door faster.

What you are describing is a ghost job though, right? At least from the perspective of all the applicants but one.

Oops. I guess I agree with binary132 then. I misread that and apparently added a "not" in there in my head.

This is still a ghost job. A ghost job are jobs advertised that are not intended to be filled. If they are leaving ads up for jobs that are already filled it is a ghost job.

How come scrolling the table lags on my $700 phone? You can render tens of thousands of rows at once without lag, something is wrong.

Thanks for sharing that you run into the same issue. Agree that something is wrong, perhaps scrolling causes the table to re-render for some reasons. I will look more into it and getting it fix next. There are techniques to optimize performance such as only render visible rows. I haven't spent much time testing it on mobile web and will enhance the mobile web view & experience upcoming.

You don't need to only render visible rows. There are only 400. You just insert them into the Dom and that's it.
