If you do that you'll end-up jobless. It is not a candidate's market right now :)

I like your first point, though your 2nd and 3rd points tell me you haven't applied for a while :) They've all adopted the google model, small or big companies it doesn't matter. You start with a 45 minute technical phone scr

Then you fall into a specific scenario where you need someone who has a very specific keyword on a Resume. There are a lot of candidates on the market right now for all the standard positions, web javascript, mobile objective-c and swift, b

This sounds like a typical scenario - software developer position in 2017 = Micro-managed and treated like resource - no creativity, just productivity - small startup where you own %0.1 of the company while the CEO and CTO get %99.9 It&#x27

That's what happens when you move away from the standard technologies. You should look for a smart frontend dev instead who could learn a new framework easily. Search for a Frontend/php or frontend/javascript developer. You&#

Yes it is, way too many candidates out there right now. The number of jobs hasn't changed, there are still looking for web, mobile, backend and all the basic roles. Companies have the luxury to say no to who ever the heck they want. Ca

You've only worked 2 years after college and you already "needed a break"? The entrepreneurial journey is x10000 harder my friend :) There is a universe in between an idea and your dream.

It's like saying "every line of code has been tested, we don't think the UI is broken"...

Everything - since you have to cut corners and can't be involved %100 into each and every single task, you have to work extremely fast in order to make it look like it's moving slow. And of course you can't go faster than slo

They made it look like Facebook recently and it's painful to browse on a desktop. They use only a few pixels width instead of the whole screen. So, I'd fire one or two UX people. The rest is ok... also get rid of a bunch of useles

Sure, I'm referring to the H1B visa. Applications start on April 1st and usually end a day after (when the economy is good like this year). After they reach their quota the visa application shuts down until April next year. So from Jan

This is half true. I'm not Indian but I've been in the Bay Area long enough. I'd say in the PM world, if you apply at companies like ebay, oracle, paypal, etc. being Indian is actually a plus ;) Applying at startups in San Fr

You should seek advice from people who are looking for jobs right now, or people who got freshly hired (within the last 2 months). If you listen to people who aren't in the market now then you won't hear anything relevant. Things

I would expose the potential risk of automation in a near future. Making them aware of learning something that might disapear in 10 years, for the most part.

Long story short - larger market, more money to be made in the consumer's market. Blame investors not innovators.

The largest buyers (movers) on the stock market are large corporates and financial institutes not individuals ;)

2 things I can think of - investors (= people who buy stocks on the market) are enthusiastic about the recent changes in the government from an economy stand point. Then the state of the current economy after the previous government. The FE

Just curious, what is the link between a CTO and a product manager? A CTO would be looking at the latest technology while a PM would look at the latest competitor in the field.
