I think is awesome, you really should have a mailing list for when you go national tho in addition to the "SF batch sign up" :P
Who said this batch signup is only for SF? ;)

#53The thin text is almost unreadable on Linux. https://i.imgur.com/XFTitdd.jpg
That's because the site is attempting to load the font over http and the site is hosted on https so I'm guessing your browser is blocking that. It uses the Google Lato font for that text
Just pushed the fix!

#54I was looking into this. Sadly it requires that I provide a LinkedIn profile which I don't have.
Actually not a requirement -- that's why we asked for email first. :) We don't message it, but the last two fields are optional. Truth is we won't be able to handle every candidate that comes through yet so we're working in batches. The more information we have on people, the more we can prioritize them. That being said, I'd love to chat -> zach@jobstart.co. I'll make sure you don't fall through the cracks.
I too do not have a LinkedIn account. The form does in fact error, but you are saying my email has still been collected anyways?
Just wanted to clarify!
Thanks.

#55Is there any focus on Product Management or is this just Dev jobs?

Just dev jobs for now! Once we figure out how to scale coaching to a significant degree, we'll tackle other areas. :)

Just wanted to comment that this also prevents us from submitting anything in the "WHAT DO YOU WANT IN YOUR NEXT ROLE?" box.

#58If your company is hiring engineers, email us team@jobstart.co

#59I was looking into this. Sadly it requires that I provide a LinkedIn profile which I don't have.
As a hiring manager, I use LinkedIn either to primarily source engineers or to validate the experience of an engineer that I found via some other means (open source project, coding event, etc).
To some extent, if you don't have a LinkedIn you don't really exist within the job market - which is fine I guess if you never intend to change jobs but might be something you do want to do some day :)
I'm actually curious why you wouldn't have a LinkedIn?

#60I know this beats the very premise of your product - "personalized" guidance but thought I would ask anyway.
How open are you to sharing general guidelines (that are insightful and not already available everywhere) ?
It would also help if you could ask the people who are successfully placed to write their learnings along the process. Similar to how the Insight data engineering fellow and others at coding schools share what they learnt/built.
