It really sucks getting turned down for a job because I have "too much experience". 😮💨

I'm trying to move forward in my career. If you need an expert web developer who thinks outside the box and can make amazing things happen, hit me up and I'll send over my CV/résumé.

Yo #[2]

Maybe a potential venture?


Why not focus on freelance work? Thru Upwork, Fiverr etc


A few years ago I realized that I can no longer apply for jobs that were advertised.  Now I have to use my network because people wouldn’t take me seriously when i just applied for stuff.


Why??


Fuckin’ A

Right on. Good advice. It's probably better that way since then you have a connection from the start.


You'd understand if you had experience using either of those platforms

I will hire you as an ALT (assistant language teacher).  We get a lot of IT guys in Japan who end up going into teaching English. 😛  Then on the side you could also help me convert my city into a bitcoin city and upgrade all the local shops to include online and international orders.  Our mayor is very forward thinking and welcomes foreigners.


That’s a good point


Thanks nostr:npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5 but he is doing same job as I do. He is more experienced.


I'm not sure who can actually complete on those platforms and actually take pride in their work. I'm sure some people figure it out, but that's not me. I cant design and build you a scratch website for anywhere close $300 or whatever nutty price others can do. Also if you're American your competing with others in much cheaper cost of living areas its just not feasible for popular development work. I have to assume other people resell this work because it can be so absurdly cheap.


Not only American. Us from Europe also have problems because guys from India/Pakistan etc work for peanuts there. They will underbid everything.


I'm seeing your notes, how is this possible


If the problem is too much experience maybe say you're "a retarded web dev" instead of " expert web dev".


So I don't live in Japan but this sounds awesome. Mind DMing me?


Too experienced 😂


The critical aspect is that it's a race to the bottom of the barrel. Everyone wants to either be the cheapest or hire the cheapest, so you end up with a pool of retards on both sides of the equation.


Well I know what Jor had in mind. But I am at start of building business where I have barely enough gigs for myself at the moment. He meant for me to cooperate with you in my venture.


Totally agree. I sometimes apply for some longterm jobs that have decent money on table but still they low ball even there lol


Best of luck in that! Keep me in mind 🫡


I'm going to start building a list of fellow web developers looking for gigs. I also started a business, but the problem right now is lack of clients. Its a slow grind for sure.


Lemme host


Derp need to dm you.


Will do 🫡


I just read your profile page. Do you have any examples of what you've done with tailwind? I could use someone to help with styling etc. Also have you built anything with svelte?


Hey I will send you a DM


What do you like working with/on?

Sucks. That is such a silly reason to give someone. Maybe they didn’t reflect well what the job was about?


We are hiring software engineers like crazy if you are in the East coast of the US or Europe. Feel free to dm me if you want more info!


Become a consultant?  Better hours. Better pay.


I was once turned down because “they couldn’t afford me” but we never got to actually discussing salary expectations. Another time i got turned down because they were worried if I was hired in to the satellite office then I’d some how convert it in to being their main engineering office. That last one was funny, becuase i wasn’t even applying for a management role, just a senior engineering role. They just assumed, perhaps correctly, that I wouldn’t just stay doing that and I’d likely start managing things. At the time I was burned out from working remotely and just wanted an office to go in to with coworkers in person.

Eventually I gave up on working for other people and went back to making my own thing. Which is way harder, but i get to more directly shape the nature of my work.

Maybe I’m just getting old and cranky but “too much experience” as a reason for not hiring someone just sounds like boardroom speak for : we want someone who doesn’t know their value that we can manipulate into overworking themselves for subpar pay while constantly dangling the promise of bigger and better things to keep them on the hook for as long as possible.

People in positions of power don’t much care for those who know their worth and carry the experience to be able to advocate for themselves.


Sounds like your experience may count, word of mouth works.


What kind of tech?  What languages are you experimenting with?  Or what is one of your current favorite tools or libraries?


I'm a software engineer with a specialty in web development and an emphasis in 3D/geospatial. I use TypeScript and the other web stuff, Python, Postgresql. My favorite library is ThreeJS and currently my favorite tool is using web workers for multithreaded web apps.


🧘♂ I consult, therefore I am

Did it work?

😁


You guys are amazing! Thanks for the incredible support. I have +6 job options to look into now! 🔥

I have a lot of wordpress experience, but mostly my skill set lies on the sysadmin side doing server management / backend stuff. I use things like webflow for design.


Yeah, recruiters can also help.


This is really common in IT, actually.
Either hard to find something or chronically underemployed, once you reach a certain level.

You can add me to that list, too. I've been hovering between WordPress for vast extensibility and client-updateable content, and then really wanting to use React for more projects.


Wow didn’t think to read your profile. My bad. You are into some rocking stuff. Maybe you should be looking for a research grant instead of an employer? 🧑🏫🤔

But I’ll think what I may know about. Can you pm me where you’re located: re work?


I did apply for a full time OpenSats grant but I'm still waiting to hear back on it... can't wait around forever, gotta keep moving forward. I'm based out of North Dakota USA.


it's usually not "too much experience" but rather "we can't afford you"

Hello fantastic nostr people. I was blown away by your incredible support when I posted the below note. I had 10+ job opportunities pepper my inbox within hours. What a powerful statement to this community. I was overwhelmed 🙏 and now I have a new job! Here's the note from a month ago; scroll down to find out more...
nostr:note1x43202egs5umrqec6d76dsjl6z7ylr6hkmctes2rpat7sa22e7msq5m69n
Over the last month I have weighed many different opportunities, and I am excited to announce that I have accepted the position of CTO for FanFares.io run by  nostr:npub1md39ua3h2s7204a7v5p9sdxmxx9qc7m4kr3r6naeuwfznad6d7nsxpctp9!

 nostr:npub16lvpp8hyxetuuczk4kjx2vqxhwmyruc72r59ysmgrsnjg5rcz8kqk07j3k is building an open source PWA that enables podcasters and content creators to publish and monetize their content via nostr rails and lightning micropayments. There are tons of exciting things coming that I'm excited to talk about in the near future, like at BTC Prague 🤙 see you there!

I am still deeply committed to ONOSENDAI and completing my OpenSats grant, which Simon has been fully supportive of, so my schedule will allow for this.

I'm not sure about the future of Yondar since my company ran out of funding to develop it, but it's open source so I have faith that it will live on somehow.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work in the nostr space. I am grateful for my 16 years at the marketing agency where I started my career, but this next step is much needed and a perfect fit.

So, thank you wonderful nostr people for supporting me and showing your care. It has meant the world to me. I am SO ready to put 100% of my time and focus on nostr and bitcoin development. I feel like my work at FanFares is going to have a measurable and immediate impact on nostr and bitcoin adoption and I can't wait to get started! 👾💜


Sign me up!

Glad to hear there are some good things happening over here!

BTW I’m also looking :P


Glad ya found a great new opportunity!
