What fields/tech stacks would you recommend to specialize on? I have nearly a decade of experience in programming but I'll probably specialize just to stay in-demand.

Re:Ask HN: Great candidate but company needs more time to make decision on Thursday May 16, 2019 @06:42AM (#19927747)
I was thinking the first one since the founder told me they had a frontend dev from Russia and said they're really "cheap".

I had this in mind on the final interview, but I didn't want to lowball my compensation because of the fact that the position is remote.

Ask HN: Great candidate but company needs more time to make decision

from the ask-hn dept.

So I applied on a startup and passed all interviews including technical. However, after a follow-up email regarding the status of my application, one of the founders told me that they might need more time (2 weeks) to make a decision, but considered me as a great candidate.Btw, this is a remote job. So, I need your advice if I should just wait or look for other jobs because this might still be...

P.S. The startup is pretty big now as it has millions worth of funding.

Ask HN: LinkedIn Endorsement

Posted by cyrilbenson47 on Tuesday April 16, 2019 @01:37AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Here's my story. I worked with a startup on its early stage 2 years ago and did pretty good. I was laid off after a year since they want an in-house developer but during my last day, the CTO/Co-founder praised me for my excellent work and thanked me for my work. He also told me that if I needed a LinkedIn endorsement, he'll write me one. At that time I didn't have a LinkedIn account.Fast...

Re:Ask HN: I feel sad about my life and job, and do not know what to do on Wednesday April 03, 2019 @11:42PM (#19569147)
I second this. I started developing just a couple of years early with you, I have ~10 years of experience now. On the first few years, I gained a lot since what I do all day is work eat and sleep.

Explore new things outside of work, which could be hard at first but you'll get better at it once you do it constantly.

Ask HN: Best Way to Transition from Here?

Posted by cyrilbenson47 on Wednesday April 03, 2019 @02:15AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've been coding for 10 years now and used PHP and JS frameworks as my tech stack. I want to jump ship and start using modern tech like Go or focus heavily on data analysis using Python (ML).How do I get a remote developer job with this technology when I'm just starting out since the majority of the companies require some experience?P.S. This has been stressing me out for the past few months...

Re:My Salary Progression in Tech on Friday March 15, 2019 @12:39AM (#19396626)
Damn! Right now, I'm making $24k as a Full Stack Developer (remote) for a US company with 10yrs. of experience. Now I believe that I'm way underpaid.
Re:Ask HN: Reality for the Average Developer Outside Silicon Valley/Bi... on Thursday February 21, 2019 @04:13AM (#19215587)
I'm from SEA (Philippines) and work here remotely under a US consulting company. What I hate is it's like a stigma that because we're from a low-cost country we're paid much lower vs those from the West (around 50-70% less) considering I have the same set of skills for a 10yr Software Engineer. I think it shouldn't matter where you're from as long as you're doing a great job, money shouldn't matter.
