Show HN: Devslist – Browse hundreds of remote developer jobs in one place
- elxavit0 6y agoMaybe it is the HN Traffic, but I just tried a couple of keyword searches and the site just hangs. It just shows the spinner for minutes on end. I turned off all ad-blockers in case that was the problem, but no dice. In case it helps the devs, there is this error I see in devtools console: GET https://devslistjules.uk.r.appspot.com/api/jobs?limit=10 https://devslistjules.uk.r.appspot.com/api/jobs?limit=10 net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR edited to include console error

- TruffleMuffin 6y agoSame. Think it just got snowballed
- juliusvdw 6y agoCan't find anything. Think that might be the case.
- juliusvdw 6y agoThanks, I'll have a look at that asap and see if i can pin point the issue.
- koluna 6y agoApplying for some jobs sends you to other remote job aggregators. Are the listings scraped from other remote listing sites?
- juliusvdw 6y agoThe listings are pulled from the other sites via rss feeds, or API's. We currently have 5 different sources that we are fetching jobs from. A cron job fetches the jobs every 4 hours.
- TheFullStack 6y agoThese remote job aggregator sites have been popping up everywhere lately but virtually none of them solve the problem I face routinely - transparent compensation. Companies often post stuff like "competitive pay" or "market rate" but that means nothing. Further, conversation regarding pay with these types of companies usually comes up after an initial screen, a tech screen and maybe a take-home assignment. All that just to find out the job pays $55k? Yeah, no thanks. If you can create a job board that has pay listed upfront and prominently (nothing cagey like a massive range), then not only would I sign up for the service, I would pay for it. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-$20 a month.
- downvoteme1 6y agoI think you need to combine the data from these boards with levels.fyi or Glassdoor for salary data. Also if you are employed in FAANGMULA companies, you need to be aware that the compensation from your remote board jobs or unknown startups will mostly never reach your current take home .
- TheFullStack 6y agoI understand that. I’m not asking for these jobs and small startups to match FAANG level pay. I just want transparency. There’s a big difference between $50k and $150k and both are still well below FAANG pay. Just be upfront is what I’m saying.
- juliusvdw 6y agoThanks for the feedback. I'll look into that. Do you think it would add value even if the Salary info is "industry average" from glassdoor? Or would that just be sort of false advertising, if you catch my drift?
- ornornor 6y agoExactly. I live in a HCOL area (not SV, not US). Local salaries are very competitive with SV and I need to know that the salary offered for that remote position makes sense compared to a local job. But companies get cagey when asked directly and usually says something like “we don’t discuss comp before you take our code challenge/first round of interviews” Well I’m not sinking 5–10h into your process only to find out you’re offering 1/3 of what I can make working 5 minutes away from home, wasting everyone’s time.
