Date: January 17th, 2018 10:21 PM Author: Transparent mother you have to audit guests at random. you visit their rooms at night and there are questions you ask, collect information about them, receipts, etc. it's like an IRS 'audit,' but it's not taxes. it's more a holistic 'lifestyle' inventory. |

|
Date: January 18th, 2018 1:16 AM Author: tripping mental disorder locale Yeah, I like it. Very chill, but I'm still learning a lot. I live in a higher cost of living city, so I wish I made a little more. Not a tech hub though, so I don't have great alternatives and not willing to do the rootless cosmo thing. Gotta count my blessings.
I actually got hired through a Hacker News monthly "who's hiring" thread. Not a great github, but a well designed portfolio page built from scratch, and I aced their coding interview project. Turns out their tech stack happened to align perfectly with what I had been studying/practicing with. |

Date: January 18th, 2018 1:19 AM Author: tripping mental disorder locale It also helped that I most do front end work, and since front end is evolving so quickly, you can stand out easily without experience if you are able to learn and demonstrate mastery of the latest best practices.

Date: January 18th, 2018 1:13 AM Author: tripping mental disorder locale You really just need a portfolio of projects. Do 6 to 9 months of studying. Full time, 8 hours a day.

Date: January 18th, 2018 1:02 AM Author: trip insanely creepy spot one just got fined in NYC for inflating employment. Flatiron School I believe. about 50% were what you would call gainfully employed for an average of $75,000 the rest were contract/temporary. that is horrible work in NYC when you consider the Unincorporated Business Tax and Obamacare. When I mean gainfully employed that can easily mean unlimited vacation (no vacation).
Good idea maybe 5-7 years ago. If I were to do it now would go to a real college I think Rutgers and Pace run OK bootcamps in NYC metro area. |
