Developer Auction now accepting developers from all backgrounds in the USA
- Trezoid 14y agoThat struck me too. Are they saying no company will offer remote or visa assistance?
- allangrant 14y agoOne step at a time. :) We're working on international, H1B, and other geographies soon.
- dbond 14y agoIs there a newsletter list anywhere to be notified of such a wonderful advancement?
- allangrant 14y agoThere's no newsletter, but you can sign up now and will be notified when we start approving developers from your region. We already have a lot of people signed up different geographies, which will help us figure out what regions to launch next.
- Trezoid 14y agoNow THAT (international and H1B {though I will soon qualify for the much easier to get E-3 ;) }) would be useful :)
- blaines 14y agoI know many companies that offer visa assistance. Some of which offered jobs to friends. Not every company/startup is willing/prepared to do the work necessary though.
- thisone 14y agoForgetting visa's, there is also the ex-pat community. No visa problems and the employer gets closer to having people working 24 hours a day. But, hey, it's hard enough to get people to understand that thriving development communities exist outside of London.
- csense 14y agoI'm guessing that offering the service to other countries -- with different employment law, taxes, contracts, immigration, etc. -- means a ton of red tape this service has to navigate. Not dealing with it until they get a revenue stream from US business and can afford to pay experts to examine these rules closely sounds like a great strategy. Yes, it's not fun if you're non-US and you want to take advantage of this service. I'm sure that, if it's a viable way to match employers with employees, someone will eventually get around to providing the service in your country.
