Are you a programmer?
If not, what do you do?
- mattdeboard 15y agoI can't imagine a world where a programmer in NYC can't find a job.
- alnayyir 15y agoThat's why I'm asking, finding a job in NYC and the Bay Area have both been the most pleasant and amusing job searches of my life so far.
- itiztv 15y agowhy so?
- blackguardx 15y agoIt depends on your specialty.
- geekam 15y agoTrue. I am ready to work as a junior developer too. I have computer science background and have willingness to learn as well but that just does not cut it, in this market. I am however working on my own apps and learning and trying to build a portfolio that way.
- alnayyir 15y agoWhat open source work have you done?
- geekam 15y agoI write Python scripts, write HTML and jQuery. I do not have anything concrete yet.
- mattdeboard 15y agoLet this be a lesson to anyone who happens to read this to have a public portfolio of projects rounded out before you graduate, or before you need your first programming job.
- geekam 15y agoI have started looking fairly recently but my point was the looking for a new job, in this market is not easy, esp when you are not living in the area you are looking for a job in.

- geekam 15y agoI am a programmer but I live near DC. Finding something from here is difficult.
