Handshake | Lead iOS Engineer(React Native) | SF | ONSITE, www.joinhandshake.com

Handshake is a fast-growing team of 40 based in San Francisco. We partner with 170+ universities, uniting them into one powerful network, which makes it easy for 100,000 companies to recruit efficiently beyond their traditional “core” schools, increasing the breadth and scope of opportunities for our 3,000,000 students, and giving our partner universities the data and tools they need to help their students build meaningful careers.

You will be the lead iOS engineer for the company and have the opportunity to take ownership of our mobile direction and grow the team. Many smart and hard working students don't get exposure they deserve and opportunities to work for great companies simply because they're not attending a top tier university, we're here to fix this problem and you will help us get closer to our mission.

Check out our Co-Founder Scott's personal blog ( https://medium.com/sgringwe ) and our engineering blog ( https://joinhandshake.com/engineering/ ). We also just raised Series B funding.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just moved to Berlin, no degree. The federal employment agency had to give approval after the contract was signed, which took about 2-3 weeks. Working visa issued after 3 days. HR shouldn't be scared, it's easy and pretty straightforward.

Could you give a bit more background to this? E.g. moved from where, what is your experience level, salary range maybe? The general advice seems to be that a university degree is almost always required. Having another data point would be helpful!

You can "replace" the degree with sufficient professional experience, at least for Germany. Ideally you've got several years.

"We do not care about your academic degrees [...]" Unfortunately embassies do care about these. Getting a work permit to immigrate to another country without an university degree certainly reduces the chances to get the embassy's approval, even in countries like Germany where there is some flexibility — if you have a Senior profile — a degree certainly accelerates the process. In fact, in this industry, there is less…

In Berlin, so many companies are relocating developers that majority of HR have done the visa thing 4 or 5 times so they're used to it. Also when the job ad says they don't care about your academic degrees that means HR has been informed not to care.

Are there any resources for those of us persistently looking for jobs? I graduated from CMU with a CS degree in 2004 but never found an entry level job. Everyone tells me it should be easy to find one and then gets upset when I ask where. I am a C/C++ programmer just trying to survive.

If you're saying that simply nobody is hiring, you're not looking. Go apply to any big company. I randomly got contacted by Google the other day and I'm only 1.5 years out of school. I know a lot of people that have been contacted by Apple, ms, and Amazon as well.

How did Google find your contact details in the first place? Were you employed prior to them contacting you? If so, your situation is pretty different from the parent's.
