I've been getting crickets since I started applying, this explains why.
> Get a referral/introduction from a current employee. Look through their roster, find a blog post that resonates with you, and reach out to the author and ask what it's like to work there. =)
Will try this approach.
> Recruiters are also an asset during job search. Treat recruiters like your agent - you're the talent, and recruiters are helping you broker a deal.
Any recommendations for good recruiters or how I can go about finding one?
Thank you so much for your advice and insights.
That's interesting to hear. Startups can justify that price tag if there's some monetary return.
I recently came across an "open" job application at a startup, which was a form to submit your resume so the startup can build a pipeline of candidates for later, when they're ready to hire.This led me to wonder, are some of the posted job opportunities at startups ghost openings just for pipeline building i.e. no intention to immediately hire but for later, provided a funding round...
I'm trying to decide whether the price of admission to an upcoming SaaStock conference (1K USD) is worth it for what I want out of it.I'm on the lookout for a full-stack/front-end/eng. manager role in a SaaS startup. I'd like to meet startups that are hiring and pitch them my profile. I have my own bootstrapped SaaS business that I currently work on full-time but want to continue working on as...
This is a software engineering/software philosophy question.I'm not a bitcoin code contributor. I'm a software dev and in my experience every software shows its age. It's either refactored or replaced by new software that builds on lessons from v1.0.Since bitcoin is the first of its kind -- decentralized electronic money -- is it possible it will undergo refactoring in the future?I can't think...
Through 90% of the post, I assumed that Godaddy unfairly canceled your domain. That doesn't seem to be the case. Granted, their termination notice timeframe is atrocious and that's the core issue.
Please fix the post so it doesn't misrepresent the actors in the situation.
I'm a bootstrapping founder, have a question about your amazing blog. Love the scrolling table of contents on the left and title/cta that appear on the top as you scroll. Do you mind sharing what cms/theme you use for your blog?
Unless I missed it completely, a suggestion I have for your blog is to have a search feature.
That said, genuinely inspired by your story and grateful for your transparency on how you made it happen. All the best!
I'm looking for advice on how to sell, activate, retain and engage users and prospects with an email campaign. It could be a book section or a small passage with relevant insights. I'm interested in reading about strategy, tactics, psychology, etc. from a practitioner.
Sketchappsources looks promising.
> A better option is to purchase something off of https://themeforest.net/category/site-templates
I found templates on themeforest fall short on the aesthetics that you find in SaaS websites like linktree.com that I alluded to in my post description. Please correct me I have the wrong impression of themeforest.
> As you spend more time optimizing your product you'll see design patterns being used by your competitors and learn along the way.
This is where I'm at. I'm able to build a front-end but competitors products look way good and I want to bridge the aesthetic gap.
I feel the same way about templates as they constrain design freedom. I lean more toward CSS/JS frameworks.
> Pick any existing CSS framework sucha tailwind CSS
I've noticed tailwind gets a lot of love on HN. Is Tailwind UI going to help make it easy to create a landing page with top notch aesthetics?
I have a SaaS webpage that has poor aesthetics and want to change it asap. I know basic CSS and html and have experience using frameworks like uikit. But at the end of the day I'm an engineer with a sense of aesthetic appreciation but not aesthetic creation.To use the most recent example I've come across, how do I go about building something like the linktree.com landing page?I'm eager to learn...
Usually we can attribute rapid startup growth to one or two tactics employed in the early days. What are some tactics startups have used with success lately? Even if it's a guess, just throw it out here as it might spur discussion.
