Verisimilidude posted:Hey everyone, You should be asking for more than 60/yr in NYC, even as a fresh bootcamp grad. I know it might seem weird to walk around asking people for a ton of money when you feel like you maybe aren't worth it, but just have faith that you are! (Not just talking out of my rear end here. I have a few friends in NYC who were bootcamp grads within the last couple of years. All of them took first jobs at or just under 100k and I don't think the market has changed.)

Verisimilidude posted:Hey everyone, PM Sent. $60k is actually a reasonable entry level developer/app specialist rate. BUT you can easily bounce after a year to 80-90k somewhere else if you aren't a muppet. It's cracking that first position that is a challenge. Edit just to be clear I don't think 60k is a fair wage, but. I've seen a lot of similar openings for entry level devs. Super-NintendoUser fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Mar 16, 2019 |

Goons. My current organization has an opening for someone with 1-2 years of experience looking to move into either a potentially larger org or a chance to enhance your desktop and server skills in a different industry. What We Do: We're a non-profit organization operating in Healthcare and Education. More specifically we as an IT department support not only our own company, but our sister organizations and we offer MSP-styled support for affiliated organizations throughout the greater Buffalo area. Where We Are: Buffalo NY Available Position: Mid-Entry Level or Senior Level Helpdesk (Senior position would also entail Jr. Server Administration opportunities). Salary Range: $30k-$50k depending on experience. Why we're a good place to work: We're helping our community first and foremost. So if that kind of thing is your bag we got your feelgood vibes right here. We have a brand new CEO who is focused on growth in the IT department. Our IT Director is embracing rapid improvement of our technology infrastructure and we are actively developing a 5-to-7-year plan and budget to modernize our entire infrastructure from workstations to servers, storage, and network equipment. We just got approval to replace like 75% of our network infrastructure this year alone. We do some cool online-service stuff for the educational facilities. If you love the cloud you're gonna fuckin love working in education.) Work Schedule and Benefits: 35 Hour work week (Technically 40, but 8 hours a day and you get a 1 hour paid lunch Its a perk damnit) 2-3 Weeks starting Vacation (Depends on experience and current benefits you're moving away from). Company pays 80% of your healthcare premium, and provides a significant chunk of your out-of-pocket deductibles (About 50%). Helpdesk technicians are hourly and eligible for overtime. Overtime pay for any holidays or We're-closed-but-our-clients-are-not days. Most of our employees have an average tenure of 10+ years. Our org is very family oriented. Taking care of real life will trump having to trudge to the office in most cases. Things you'll get to do: Work with users for helpdesk support in an organization of approximately 1000 employees, not including external clients. Gain experience in assisting with server administration tasks (Read: poo poo I don't have time for, and there's a bunch of it. Active Directory / Exchange Management is 80% of it or so) Learn how to work with SCCM for workstation imaging, software deployment, and AV management. Cabling and Power. Opportunities for starting to learn how to work in vSphere/vCenter/ESXi. Figuring out why weird poo poo some guy built 8 years ago stopped loving working because he was an idiot who didn't know what he was doing. Showing people how to type their own name with caps lock off. Our Department: Currently 3 desktop technicians, one service desk manager (your direct report), a network engineer / manager (your's truly, DOTTED LINE BOSS), our director, and an in-house phone system technician. Helpdesk techs range from just-hired to been here a few years. Helpdesk manager has been here over 5. Promotional | Educational Opportunities: All support employees can move up to senior tech pretty much by default once we're sure you can use a computer without hurting yourself. There will be a Jr. Network Engineer opening sometime in the next 12 months or so. We pay for your own subscription to an e-learning system that includes a wide variety of IT related coursework, CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft, etc. Stuff that sucks: We're a non-profit. Salaries are a bit below market rate, but we're working on it. New CEO is making a lot of good changes. CoL + Merit raises yearly. Sometimes replacing the broken parts is a nightmare because different groups can't afford some things, so we get stuck making old crap keep working because the client can't replace it (informationtechnology.txt) Our ticketing system is hot loving garbage but its on my list to replace this year. TL;DR: Looking for someone with some Helpdesk chops that wants to move into something larger, or a different industry, that needs to continue on that not-quite-entry-level path to move up to something better or develop a skill set you dont have yet. Its a good place to start growing if you want to move up inside an organization rather than having to find a new job to advance. If interested PM me.

Hi all. After four years in investment banking, it would be nice to work somewhere a bit less stressful/evil. My experience: Four years of full-stack software developer experience at two large financial institutions. Mostly JavaScript and Python, with a smattering of Java. I've been lucky enough to work with relatively modern tooling, including React, TypeScript and Pandas. What I'm looking for: Mid level or senior developer roles. Friendly, low-ego coworkers. Healthcare, government, or general do-goodery would be a bonus. What I'm NOT looking for: Startups unless they're good about work/life balance and really have their poo poo together. Anything involving adtech, ridesharing or blockchain. Where I live: New York, NY Where I'm looking: Pretty flexible. I like NYC but I've also toyed with moving somewhere a bit quieter for the last couple of years. Nothing too far south, as I'm one of those weirdos who likes long, cold winters. Remote is a bit of a pipe dream, but I'll mention it just in case. When can I start: 2 weeks if local or remote, 3-4 if relocating. Requirements: Full-time, benefits Contact: PM

Welp, it was nice while it lasted. My five-person company had two major clients churn, so now they're down to a three-person company with me and the mobile dev out on our asses. My Experience ~12 years of systems engineering, mainly on Windows but with a lot of VMware experience and a smattering of Linux. Spent most of the past 3 years working in AWS and Azure, bare metal and hardware virt before that. Comes with all the usual skills at that level (Powershell, automation, networking, app/web stacks, troubleshooting, etc.), plus solid planning and architecture experience both cloud and on-prem. Also have a fair amount of experience doing make/buy testing, product POCs, that sort of thing. What I'm Looking For Senior-level systems engineering or architecture. I'm most comfortable with Windows but I'm not a platform zealot and try to use the best tool for the job. Not a people-manager by trade but not opposed to it either, I'm used to being in a position of technical leadership. What I'm NOT Looking For Anything below senior level, anything contract or CTH Where I'm Located Amarillo, TX, moving to San Antonio in two months for my wife's job. Where I'm Looking Fully remote or in San Antonio, but if in SA MUST be able to accommodate remote for the first two months. I have kids in school and don't want to move them this close to the end of the year. When I Can Start Immediately, but see above for remote/relocation situation Requirements Remote flexibility (see above above), good benefits, hoping not to take a pay cut ($120k+) but flexible for the right job Contact PM is best fatman1683 fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Mar 25, 2019 |

JOB AVAILABLE IN MINNESOTA Application Support Engineer This role is in the Product org of a medium-sized company in the flagship SaaS fintech application. This fits inbetween our service team and our development team to help drive solutions for the platform. You very rarely work with clients, instead mostly triaging issues and teeing up issues by working across MongoDB, the source code, and our monitoring tools. We have a sub-team that builds automated tools for service as a 100% development team as well as a sub-team that does Dev-ops work around monitoring across the application, CICD pipeline, among other Dev-Opsy stuff. We expect any new hire to be working on one of these teams at least part-time after 6 or so months, so you will be doing more than just working on problem reports. This is open because we just moved one of our senior engineers to Dev-Ops full time. We are very open that we want this role to be a pipeline to software engineering, Dev-Ops, or Product Management so its a good role for someone who has those skills but trying to break into the industry. It's a pretty typical 40 hour week job. Down the line we do expect some on-call work, but we're usually pretty good at compensating off-hours work. Requirements A combination of: • Experience with Java, C#, among other modern languages (required) • SQL and DBA Systems Experience • Operations or Systems Administration Skills • Cloud Computing Experience (Azure, AWS, etc) • SaaS Networking Experience • Big Data and Data Analytic tools and design Education & Experience: • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Math, Engineering, IT, or equivalent. Combination of relevant education and experience may be considered in the place of the Bachelor’s Degree. • 1-3+ years professional experience in a software or IT environment. We would also consider hiring in at Senior level for those with that level experience. PM me or email me at <username>@gmail.com Job is in Minneapolis, we can be flexible with relocation but person has to be located here.

Now hiring in Barcelona Who we are: A very early stage startup building a cutting-edge football (soccer) analytics platform. We are funded by strategic partners, not VC. We incorporated our first two hires in Q1 2019 and are beginning the next round of hiring. Where we are: Barcelona, Spain. You need to be able to relocate, assistance is possible depending on your situation and profile. We probably can't hire any non-EU residents at the moment (due to how long the visa process takes) but don't hesitate to reach out anyway and hopefully that will change soon. Available Jobs: Planned hires for 2019 include back-end developers, front-end developers, data engineers, data scientists, and DevOps. Most immediate need is for back-end developers. More detail available on request, obviously. Why work here? We're working on an exciting project, with exciting people and partners, in a great city. Our next hires will be getting in on a greenfield project with no technical debt, and an opportunity to shape our culture and technology. We've only just started but I am trying to foster a healthy approach to velocity. There will be major opportunities for leadership as the team grows in the coming years. Why not work here? To be honest, the compensation is not competitive with what you could get in the US. Also, we have an inexperienced CTO (me). PM or post an email if interested.

Posted about open positions at DataRobot in YOSPOS, COBOL, and now here. We have.. ahem... a lot. Recruiting! Positions: Backend (python), frontend (angular / react), devops, designers, and automation engineers. Basically, we're hiring great engineers across the board. Location: Boston is the HQ, but also Denver, Kiev, Singapore, and possibly remote for the right candidates. Description of the company: DataRobot has an eponymous piece of data science software that fits nicely into the category of AutoML. We were in stealth mode until ~2017 making a pretty decent customer base, and then 2018 we found out that everyone and their mother('s fortune 500 companies) likes our B2B software so we're hiring very aggressively to build our success into a real long lasting name in space of "AI". Contact/Link: PMs are welcome and preferred as I'll definitely check them, but also email at tim.winter@datarobot.com.

Seeking a Windows/AD job anywhere! My experience: 16 years of supporting Windows, Active Directory, Exchange, and PowerShell. I have a little exposure to Azure and AWS, but up until this week I worked at a huge, conservative financial company. They're targeting their first application in Azure by the end of 2019. They're outsourcing the team that would be key to support that, so it'll be interesting to see how successful they are. I work really well with both technical colleagues and non-technical folks. I love that moment when the light comes on and someone just gets it. What I'm looking for: Windows/Cloud/AD/Infrastructure support/engineering/automation/et cetera. I love taking dumb processes and automating them completely. Let me come in and solve your annoying problems with PowerShell! What I'm NOT looking for: Entry level help desk, heavy Linux or networking. My main skill set is in the Microsoft ecosystem, but I could slip into Linux with some time. Where I live: Syracuse, NY Where I'm looking: Any major city. First preference would be North America, but wide open to Europe or Asian offices, too. I can and will work remotely, too. When I can start: However long it takes me to relocate there. Requirements: Full time Can be reached via: PM and wizard@laboratory-17.net

I’m going to need a software developer focused on security soon. Hit me if that’s you. - I’d be your boss’ boss, and you’ll never have as supportive a management chain as this one. I’m not joking even a bit. - you need to make good decisions about tooling vs process vs just writing the diffs and tests yourself - someone else handles all the certification/audit poo poo, you just deal with real problems and getting ahead of them - our office is attached to a downtown subway station (line 1, west line best line) - other software developers want to do a good job and will thank you for helping them not gently caress up - when you tell a PM they shouldn’t ship because of a security issue, they listen - strong privacy and tech ethics values, and we spend to honour them - training? conferences? working from Tbilisi for two weeks because you’ve never been there (actual example)? tell your boss how it makes sense and sure. you’re an adult - more than a year of runway - actual paying customers - you should be able to tell me about how you fixed a security fuckup and made sure it stayed fixed - we have fired recruiting agencies for bringing us only white dudes for leadership and tech positions - you don’t need to know about AI, but you’ll sure learn about it - talking to people (internal mostly) is part of the job. you can get coached to gently caress and back, but you can’t dodge it You’re moving to Toronto, or convincing me that you can excel spectacularly being here 1/3 weeks.

My experience: 2 years in software QA, 3 years as a C++ developer, 4-ish years as an (intermittently successful) independent IT consultant, and most recently 6 years as a multi-platform Linux/Windows/AWS sysadmin and incident commander. What I'm looking for: A role as an SRE, senior sysadmin, or incident manager. What I'm NOT looking for: Software dev. I've been one in the past, but that was some time ago. I do a fair bit of Python scripting and such, but I'd need to do some serious work to get myself back up to the state-of-the-art before I could honestly hang out a shingle as a dev again. Where I live: Chicago, Illinois (suburbs, actually). Where I'm looking: Chicago area or remote. Not willing to relocate, but I might be talked into traveling to an office in another city from time to time. When I can start: Three weeks from acceptance of offer, preferably four. Requirements: Full time, salary, decent benefits, yadda yadda. $100K minimum. Contact: PM me here on the forums or email me at powereddescentgoon at Google's well-known gmail. If I wanted to puff myself up I'd say I'm the head sysadmin for a six billion dollar corporation. If I'm being honest, I'm just the top ranking admin in the ops center of a couple of medium-sized websites that you've almost certainly heard of but may or may not have used. A zillion little essential jobs fall to me and my team, but our main responsibility is monitoring the overall health of the site from moment to moment, spotting anomalies (ideally before they become problems), and then commanding the incident response in real time whenever something breaks in a serious way. I can tell a few "hero" stories of times I saved the day myself, but lately it's been a lot more common for me to coordinate and facilitate the various dev teams who are experts in their own systems and need to fix their broken poo poo now now NOW.

I'm in the UK, I would like to say I am a web dev but I'm not even sure any more. Due to long term chronic illness I have been on state disability support. I'm 32, I've been out of work since I was 23. I attended university but due to my illness I never got a degree. I still managed to land a job and worked and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have kept my skills current, when I left the industry I worked nearly exclusively in php and specifically drupal sites. I have kept learning new things I built branching out into javascript/node expanding my php into laravel and your standard front end framework poo poo, I would do this regardless because I am so bored and I do one day dream of returning to work and having a sense of dignity and self sufficiency, but there is one niggling worry that grows month by month in the back of my mind. Has this boat already sailed? All I get from friends both in and out of the industry is reassurances, promises of putting in a good word at companies or help meeting the right people. Which is very nice to hear, and I'm sure they mean well, but I need the cold hard goon truth to make it mean anything. Am I hosed? Will no amount of skills work and portfolio creations/freebie poo poo fill the colossal gap in my resume and lack of tangible degree and should I just accept it now and start prepping my customer services smile so I can get good boy points while I scan people's groceries? I need to either put my mind at rest that there is still a goal at the end of this, or make my peace with opportunities lost.

If you have personal projects you can show on a resume, you can make it. You might have to work hard at applying to jobs, or take some jobs that are non-ideal, but the bottom line is there are a lot of php jobs out there people don't want, and companies desperate to hire php devs. You might have to work on tailoring your resume to hide the employment gap, but that's eminently doable. I'm not 100% sure of the market in the UK, but in the US, in a city like Chicago, I'd say you'd eventually make it. Not to say it's going to be easy, you're gonna have to do legwork and "prove passion" and stuff like that, but is it feesable? I think so.

My "previous" company worked with a lot of charities and I gained a solid knowledge of where registered charities can get a lot of poo poo for free. I may just be the only person for who "working for exposure" actually makes sense.

This isn't an industry that requires degrees, as long as you have the skills. If you go in with a good looking portfolio and the ability to talk the talk, I think you would end up working without too much pain. Maybe pick up some freelance side jobs for building that portfolio, so it's actual professional work.

If you're in London keep an eye out here as I have a team out there I occasionally hire into and your background would be a solid fit. I mean, I would probably consider you Entry level (or maybe a step above) but you can climb ladders fast if you have skills. Yeah you'd be doing a job potentially next to 22 year olds but you wouldn't be the first person who I've worked with/hired that started a new career at 30 (or 40 or 50). If you have skills you absolutely can get back in there, you'll just need to start closer to the bottom than if you had been working this last decade. But that's not as bad of a thing as it sounds. I have no reason to try to make you feel better.

I only got into IT at like 32, and one of the helpdesk people I hired at my last place was just starting in her mid sixties. It's never too late!
