Ask HN: Who'd hire full stack developers

6 points by m4nu 12y ago ↗ HN

I am a full stack web developer with roughly 10 years experience. I am comfortable with back/front-end dev as well as design work. I am also Ok with setting up and maintaining Unix servers.

My startup concept (https://nota.io) isn't taking off the ground so I am back on the job market.

What kind of place would hire me?

Without a resume or other information, it's difficult to give you specific feedback, but the short answer us that if you can program your way out of a wet paper bag, there are many many job opportunities for you in today's market. If you were in Chicago I could point you to some leads immediately.

Around here, you best bets are to look at the monthly "Who is hiring?" thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7829042

And the newer addition, the "Who wants to be hired?" thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7833250

Thanks for the input. For the geo location I am a french Expat in china which is why I am asking HN cause they aren't much opportunities around here. I am ok to relocate for the right fit.

Good morning!

I'm not in a position to hire anyone, but from my experience reading the HN Hiring Threads and such it seems like sometimes like your particular expertise so far would be good to list on here as well (while not all employers are like this, I do see a trend of folks not really taking a closer look if you aren't already using the same technology they're using in their company).

Additionally, I don't know if you want folks to contact you using your Nota Facebook or Twitter account, but you may additionally want to list some sort of contact info in your profile so folks might be able to ping you directly (in case they aren't wanting to necessarily advertise directly in the thread).

Good luck and I hope you get some responses!

I am just out of my own product right now so I can't dive in a non-paid project for the time being. Good luck with that tho.

You could check out heapsortjobs.com and create a profile there--don't know about your specific background, but it's exclusively for developers with frontend/backend + design and/or infrastructure experience.

PHP, Python, Ruby, and JS have the most job openings there.
