I need to get caught up. There seems to be a good discussion I'm missing
Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
This is slowly turning into a hangout spot for casual conversation
Chase Gilliam
@Ch4s3
seems like it. and some interesting code chat

@ybur-yug
heh yeah its def OT but i kind of dig having a room to shoot the shit in in between stuff

Illustration of my point that conditonals are a code smell ^

only an amped one
PS i just went through hired.com's quiz thingle and profile setup, passed it and all but it said they only take like 10% of submissions. Any of yall have experience with them?
Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
That's dumb.
That seems like the cool new thing- rejecting people on quotas
"TOPTAL ONLY ACCEPTS THE TOP 3% CODERS"
yburyug
@ybur-yug
their 'blog entries' are so contrived ive stopped clicking anything i see from them
lol toptal
i have a buddy whose got the same amount of experience, but a compsci degree from a small public uni that landed a gig with it. Maybe github stars and some speaking experience make up for it :shrug:
we'll see. if yall are interested and they end up taking me in i can report back on how it goes
yburyug
@ybur-yug

heh i got 4/5 of their questions on the exam done (2 required) and 3/5 passed all tests, one passted half of them (didnt run fast enough for final requirements) and they shot me down. just got the email

Not sure if horrible engineer or oversaturated.
Hopefully not the latter. heh

Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
I think the problem with a lot of the online places is that they're oversaturated. Hired.com was the last one I had heard of that was decent. Honestly, I wouldn't spend too much time online after this unless it's emailing.
I don't think I've ever gotten a reply from online job ads. Not a single one.
Best bet now is to promote yourself on linkedin, connect with non-shady recruiters and use meetup.com to the max
yburyug
@ybur-yug
ugh the problem ive had with the one decent recruiter ive worked with is that every role hes gottem me through the interview process for has ended with 'well were actually looking for a senior engineer, not midlevel'. The jobs werent posted publicly and they explicitly said senior engineer once I wised up and asked to actually see them after.
how the fuck do you promote yourself on linkedin? ive honestly never used it. I do get a lot of recruiter spam though. but its all from massive firms with wretched reviews online
has anyone here had luck with whose hiring on HN? or does that fall in the same bag?
also i go to every meetup remotely related to my skillset in columbus, but sadly there are only 2 (3 total. the other is ember.js and ive been to a few and found them lacking)
they do a 'whose hiring' section at the start of both, and lo and behold theyre only all after senior engineers too. seems to be a bit paradoxical lol
22nd century staffing and TEKsystems are the two that are always fucking bothering me (recruiting firms)
Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
Yeah, it's not easy. You're probably at that weird threshold in your career where you're not junior nor senior.
Just need to do a crap ton of "politic-ing"
yburyug
@ybur-yug
le sigh
Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
The online listing will all just be a waste of time. Best thing you can hope for is to bump into someone who can get you the job while simultaneously working on tangible things that prove you're a good dev.
It's weird though, one day, you're going to cross that threshold and then you don't have to deal with the bullshit.
I remember precisely when I hit that point myself.

@ybur-yug
in the interim ive got a mother with medical bills that need paid and am running low on contracts. lol. i need to get crafty with this fast.
did you end up going the recruiter route?
Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
I got one job through a recruiter and the other two via pavement pounding
yburyug
@ybur-yug
i just scheduled a talk to give at next weeks ruby meetup on practical data science in ruby
Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
oh and another one via companies looking for me. So technically a recruiter, but inhouse
yburyug
@ybur-yug
im totally willing to relocate. know the name of a recruiter worth emailing nationwide?
Rick Carlino
@RickCarlino
Yeah- one sec. Gotta hop on a call
but yeah, you might be better off doing your own outreach
yburyug
@ybur-yug

thanks

@RickCarlino
meetups, collaborative work spaces, cold calling, cold emailing
