Well I was just pretty much blindsighted by my employer and got myself terminated "effective immediately". Not that everything was honey and roses but I really thought everything was going fine. Then "swoosh", floor fell out from under me. I'm in Vancouver (BC), got 2 years at Activision doing web and network programming in python (and django). Before that I got 4 years doing ruby/rails with isoHunt, including some PM work. Before that I had been doing "web design contracting" on and off part time for like 6 years. So that's 12 years of web experience, 6 of them doing "legitimate programming". All but the last 2 have involved a fair bit of remote work so I'm good with telecommuting. I do a fair bit of OSS work and have contributor credits in prototype.js, RSpec/Cucumber and Rails. I've worked ubuntu and centos as production systems, I'm reasonably comfortable with both MySQL and PostgreSQL and I've usually been the go-to-guy for git. Contact me over PM if you think I can help you with something. I'm looking for something long-term but hey, since this was all such a perfect SURPRISE, I'm very much open to short term contract work as well, just so I can pay the bills.

The counteroffer for money card is dangerous because your current employer realizes you're willing to leave for more money, and even after the counteroffer you're probably going to take off the next time someone offers you 5K more a year.... so they'll try to replace you on their schedule instead of being left hanging when you leave. If you're unhappy with your current compensation level but like your job I think you're better off making an argument to your manager that you're worth more. Make a case for it and if they don't go for it, then you know it's time to move on.

Maneki Neko posted:Yeah, I've never seen anyone that accepted a counteroffer last more than a few months. As with everything else in life, it depends. I received a counter-offer in 1999 that was a 57% raise in pay and position change. I stayed at that company for 5 years after that, with two additional promotions along the way. My friend who started there as a college intern ended up in a VP position through annual counter-offers and was there for 12 years. The most important financial transaction that you will negotiate is not the purchase of a house but your salary. It's a good thing to see how you're doing relative to the job market, and annual review time is the best time to do it. As part of the annual review process for employees I have supervised, I have always encouraged them to update their resume to incorporate anything update-worthy that they have done over the past year. If they couldn't clearly communicate their increased value proposition, that was telling. Most non-lovely managers want productive employees who feel like they are being fairly compensated. The loss of tribal knowledge, domain expertise, etc. through employee turnover in technical and knowledge worker positions generally isn't worth the incremental pay bump that would keep them. Staff with an over-developed sense of entitlement who believe that getting to their desk on time 80% of the time is grounds for a performance bonus have a different time of it, but my anecdotal evidence finds that entry-level CJs who can create value tend to do well, even if the pinnacle of their professional aspiration is to be an extremely well-paid and highly appreciated CJ.

Yah the only way the not lasting thing will happen is if its a place you are working at ONLY for the money and both you and the employer know you don't like each other. Counter-offers and retention succeed where a business and their employees have a good relationship.

After 3 months of riding the funemployment train with my severance package, I've finally scored a sweet gig doing a rotating R&D/Help Desk/On-site Tech for a shipping and sorting company no less than a week after my unemployed (but interning) girlfriend and I signed on an apartment. This could not be coming together at a better time. I don't know where I channeled some of the interview answers I gave from though. I mean they were practical and insightful. Where I usually ramble on for 5 minutes I was succinct and efficient in my explanations. year of the job...YEAR OF THE JOB!

My company is looking for Senior Software Engineers and Senior QA Engineers in the Austin, TX area. I'm just an IT guy who works here, but it's a pretty cool place to work. Good location, well funded established company, but the local office still has a bit of a start up feel to it. (Translation: Market pay, good equipment and software, good benefit package, but there's still a ping pong and Foosball table and a fridge full of sodas). Dress code is relaxed. I really don't want to associate my company with my screen name here, but in general we're looking for people with 4 to 7+ years of programming experience. We have quite a few openings and a few different functional teams here working on different projects/products. One product is a Java server based piece of software, others are C/C++ on embedded devices. I know our greatest need is on the C/C++ side on our embedded products. The QA positions want a BS, at least 3 years in QA, strong test automation skills, coding experience in Python, TCL and strong Linux skills. PM or post contact info in this thread and I can send you more information. If anyone's figured out who I work for, please keep it to yourself. I'm hesitant to even post this but if I can help a Goon get a good job, it'll be worth it. To the best of my knowledge relocation is possible for the right candidate.

Hey goons! My work space is hiring a software developer! Who we are: The Segal Company, an actuarial and benefits consulting firm with around 1500 employees across the US. Where we are: This position is in New York City: specifically 34th between 8th and 9th, easily commutable from Port Authority Bus Terminal, Penn Station, and pretty much all major subway lines. Job title: Software Developer. All these details come from the internal hiring request: quote:The Software Developer will develop and maintain enterprise software primarily in support of our investment-consulting affiliate. In addition, the Software Developer may be called upon to contribute to projects for other business units. The Software Developer will work closely with analysts and will be tasked with working through the entire systems development life cycle, including requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, and deployment. Why you'd want to work here: The workspace is very stable as is the environment. Actuarial and benefits consulting isn't exactly high finance or law firm tension. I work here in systems administration and I've found that the people are intelligent, especially in the IT sphere. There's zero nepotism and tons of collegiality; the engineers aren't ivory-tower jerks and the VP of my department, as well as the VP of the applications department, are very nice guys and not jerkish in any means. The hours are REAL EIGHT HOUR DAYS - as in your shift is seven hours and an hour's lunch. 8-4, 9-5, etc. This almost doesn't happen anymore. The benefits packages are amazing and comprehensive. There's an actual pension as well as a 4% match 401k. Full health, dental, vision, Rx drug, you name it. 10 days paid vacation, 3 personal days, as many sick days as you need. Extra options for STD and LTD above and beyond and in addition to NY state disability. Employee MS licensing for personal use. Education benefits if you want to go for an advanced degree in your field. It's a really great suite of benefits. Lots of lifers in this company. Why you wouldn't want to work here: There's not much dynamic growth. I am not a developer so I really wouldn't know what to say, but as a sysadmin, I'm kinda stunned how little impetus there is to start migrating away from 32-bit installs of Server 2003 R2. The testing and approval process for IT operational stuff could be construed as a bit onerous - but I think it's a lot better than going cowboy. There's plenty of testing to be done for MS patches. I'd imagine there's a similar process for developers, but I can inquire if there are questions. Salary: Competitive. I got a decent boost coming on board. They don't pay crap for massive work. It is salaried, but they don't demand excessive after-hours and weekend work. Besides, it's a real 8-hour day, which definitely does not suck. PM me with your resume and I'll get it right to the HR people. I had to go through two rounds before they made an offer, mostly because one of the hiring managers had odd availability. If you don't have PMs, you can email me at mjpbyron at gmail dot com.

I'm hiring a contractor position for my team and have been having a hell of a time finding decent candidates, but then I finally remembered this thread in SH/SC so I figured I'll give it a whirl here. I'll update the spreadsheet with the same information presently. Who we are: Second largest bank in the US. Should be easy enough to figure out from there.  Where we are: Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, but working remotely is perfectly fine (I'm in Texas, for example). Job title: Business Analyst III This is a lovely job title. The role is very much implementation consulting. My team deals in the technical implementation of analytics software into our websites. What the hell would you be doing: There is a healthy dose of business analysis work (gathering requirements, writing specifications and other documentation, etc) but there is also a great deal of testing and troubleshooting rendered web pages for issues and errors, wherein we work very closely with development teams to report and resolve defects. So you'll need a very firm grasp on how the Internet works (bonus points are not awarded for telling me it's a series of tubes or a place to store cat pictures), JavaScript, and HTML. The ability to write the most basic of SQL queries and a good understanding of how databases work won't hurt either. To be clear: this is not a development or coding position. My team does not write code hardly at all, save for the occasional library update or snippet to help out a clueless developer (of which there are many). This is a consulting role where a solid technical background (and the ability to write decent JavaScript) is required to be successful. Why you'd want to work here: Clearly, the best reason is the jokes of questionable quality offered by yours truly. This is a full time contract position with the possibility of turning to permanent, but one never knows. Why you wouldn't want to work here: This is a very large company and, as a result, has all the issues one would expect to deal with in a very large company. There are some people who are idiots (we laugh at them behind their backs regularly) and change is often slow to come. But this job deals specifically with telling the business how their doing in the online space, and the Internet isn't going away anytime soon, so it's pretty stable. Salary: Not bad for contract work. Expect north of $40 per hour. PM me with your resume and contact information. We'll likely do a phone screen interview and, if you're not a shitheel, a technical interview where I run you through a couple of very basic tests with JavaScript, DOM manipulation, and a few other fun things just to make sure you have the goods. I'm the hiring manager so the decision ultimately rests with me, but there will be another person or two involved in the interview process. If you don't have PMs, you can email me at my username at gmail. Beef Of Ages fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Sep 13, 2012 |

Our project manager left a few months ago and I'm starting to go insane. Note: embedding images in some areas to keep this from popping up in search engines Who We Are  is a web development agency that's been around since 1998 and for awhile was stuck doing things the ways things used to be done ten years ago. (a lot of their website still reflects that but I promise you our recent clients' sites look much better -- we have a designer that was featured on Smashing Magazine and I'm pretty good at coding poo poo) Things got kind of rough after clients began asking for things like dynamic sites running on top of content management systems, mobile sites, and responsive stuff so they brought me onboard last year and I've been working on bringing them up to the level of modern leading web dev agencies' operations / practices. As a result of that we've moved to an issue tracking system and are running things on an Agile / Scrum workflow.Where we are: Frisco, TX. We're actually technically in Little Elm right now (Frisco Jr.) but we're about to move to Frisco Square. It'll be pretty rad when that happens, I'm excited about lunch / happy hour / etc. Job Title: Project Manager / Account Manager / Scrum Master What we're looking for: A people person that's organized, doesn't mind dealing with clients, isn't afraid to say no to clients or sales people trying to put a wrench into our workflow, and is familiar enough with the industry / what's involved in developing projects that they can accurately estimate timetables on projects and tasks (and isn't afraid to ask if they can't make a solid estimate on their own) What we're not looking for: Someone that refers to themselves as a 'ninja' or a 'rockstar'. A goony neckbeard that's going to say yes to everything the client asks because he/she is bad at talking to people and is disorganized to the point of losing track of projects, tasks, and timetables or forgetting to write emails. Why you'd want to work here: The company is pretty laid back -- we have an hour lunchbreak and no sort of IT policy on our computers, we can basically use them as if they were our own personal machines. A lot of those lunch breaks end up being spent playing video games such as Diablo 3, TF2, etc. or watching Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Newsroom, or whatever else is airing at the moment. We have 'beer friday' which is kind of like a beer show and tell. We're still a small company (8 people) so you have a large impact and there's zero bureaucracy. We're backed by an investor group and there's a good chance that the company's going to grow once we're in our new offices, so if you get in on the ground floor and stick with it there's a good chance it'll pay off. Casual dress code. We're gradually moving away from doing stuff for clients and going into developing some startups --  is one, we're working on a ReachLocal competitor as well as some other things where we can actually try things out and make cool stuff and not be beholden to clients.Pay is competitive and salaried but rarely if ever requires after-hours / weekend work. (I've only stayed late a couple of times and that was of my own volition, I wasn't pressured into doing it) Pretty good benefits package too. PM me with your resume or email me at alex [at]  [dot] com and I'll get it to the right people.Requirements:
Desired Skills (this is more of a wishlist, don't be intimidated if you're not familiar with a lot of these things)

Job Title : PC Technician Location: Pittsburgh, PA (downtown) Any low level tech people in PA who want some contract work, there may be openings in downtown. I work at a large bank and we are doing an asset refresh, which means we are just putting new PCs together with whatever applications are needed and switching them out. This involves a lot of coordination with users and the ability to work on multiple problems and work with desktop support on things you don't know about because we have thousands of applications. Requirements General helpdesk experience is always nice (you would work closely with desktop support so there is permanent position potential there). A+ and other basic certs will help quite a bit. Familiarity with imaging/PXE boot/cloning with ghost and troubleshooting. It does involve a fair amount of unboxing crap so if you don't like some mild manual labor this isn't for you. Pay is pretty good for what it is, as long as you aren't lazy and can work unsupervised. My manager is awesome. PM me or email this username at gmail if you might be interested.

Job Freelance Website Development Location Anywhere with a computer Details I live in China and have been looking to start an e-commerce website here as we have some good connections with suppliers and also because The Economy and Money. I've visited a number of Chinese website developers looking to hire professionals to do the work but been extremely disappointed by what they say they can do vs what they can do. For example, this is the most popular website in China, homepage of like half a billion people - http://www.hao123.cn/ . Most Chinese webpages are really just like that, a collection of links, and I've been dicked around by these guys so many times I thought why not let goons give it a shot? The basic structure of the website would be like this. You have a user authentication system and a purchasing system. Once you have purchased an item, your account unlocks the ability for you to upload a photograph/advertisement of your own design. Once you upload the photograph, a dynamic page is generated featuring your photograph with the product details, as well as the ability to share the link with social media like Facebook and Twitter. Any purchase through this generated page would then credit the photograph-creator with some amount of money from the total sales price. There also would exist a voting system to determine which products and ads are the most popular, I see no reason why it shouldn't be Facebook integrated rather than an internal voting system, so long as we'd be able to order uploaded content by number of votes. I am pretty sure that this isn't a particularly complex idea but my web design experience is nil, I'd love to talk to someone who is willing to bid on the job. You can send me a PM and I can give you a more detailed pitch if you're looking for more info on how it works, or you can send me an email at ccferrara@gmail.com and I'll get back to you ASAP. Someone else recommended to me that I might also look at rentacoder.com, again I have no experience with that, and don't know how their prices would compare to freelancers here. Anyway, thanks for reading! Fall Sick and Die fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Sep 14, 2012 |

Job: Software Engineer Location: Denver Tech Center Who we are: An international agricultural bank. This is honestly an awesome place to work and the people are fun but super-driven. The benefits are great as are the salaries. The corporate structure is not too crazy, either. What we're looking for: Somebody who's motivated and knows his or her stuff. You will be expected to be professional and engaged in your duties. You'll also be able to rely on your coworkers and management to help you when you need it. There are three of these positions available. There is consideration given to people who are recommended by current employees, so if you're interested, please PM me, or email me at reachergilt+job@gmail.com and let's talk. Having said that: I'm not the hiring manager here, but I don't want to work with idiots. I want to make sure we can work together and that I'm comfortable recommending you as a professional. The listed requirements are pretty in depth, but we "hire to fit" as well as to skills -- don't sweat it if you're not 100% on everything (for instance, I don't have a degree). quote:Required Qualifications

I was going to post a job I found but it's for a company I don't know anything about that I came across while researching something about startups. Is that cool for this thread or should I hold off?
