I am starting my first Elixir role tomorrow. I come in with no real-world experience (edit: no real-world experience with Elixir specifically - I have a mid-senior level of experience using other languages), just some tutorials (Elixir Koans and Pragmatic Studio) which helped me submit a decent code sample. There aren’t a ton of Elixir roles, but hiring managers also recognize the shortage of devs so for a junior or mid-senior role they might overlook a lack of formal experience with the language. Elixir roles also seem to have pay scales as well as work arrangement flexibility that are higher-than-average. Geography-wise, I’ve noticed growing, “hipster” cities like Columbus (where I live), Denver, and Austin have a pretty decent share of the Elixir job postings (although, again, if you want to live elsewhere there are lots of fully-remote Elixir roles out there).
