I picked up a job from a "Who's Hiring" thread, and had a fairly positive experience moving to Boulder last summer to start work. The company offered $15K more than I was making, but in retrospect I should have taken the $30K bump I was offered to stay where I was. What the new company didn't offer was an expenses paid on-site interview, relocation assistance, or an incentive structure. The software engineers work in a dark, boiler-room environment, and struggle mightily to maintain a sprawling, legacy code base. Turnover at the company is extremely high. I lasted 9 months; the last 6 of which were spent trying to 'change things' at the urging of a couple of friends I had made there. Several people from my group have left since, and nearly everyone I worked with has asked me to let them know about other opportunities I might come across. The CTO making the postings to HN was hellbanned at some point, and stopped posting altogether once I pointed it out. I'm really not sure why that happened to him though. Is posting the same text every month grounds for removal? The environment wasn't right for me, but I'm sure there are a few HN readers who would be willing to put up with it to make a 6 figure salary as a programmer in Boulder. The right person might even be able to help turn things around.
