Sales information also does not take into account market factors such as 'days on market' and 'condition' or if it was a retail sale vs short sale vs foreclosure. There is a lot of pricing fluctuation even within a neighborhood with differe

Early in your career, there is a lot to learn. Being naturally curious and autodidactic seems like a necessary requirement, but having a good mentor can really supercharge how quickly you progress. A good mentor is someone very knowledgeabl

Think you're reading it wrong. The $100,000 jobs are very different from the $40,000 (or whatever) entry level jobs. Entry level could mean something entirely different with high school vs college graduate developer jobs. In NYC the $100,00

It's not just the first, but the biggest so far. A more fair comparison would be the concepts of ebay, credit score, etc that benefit from massive network effects and then become the defacto standard. People can get over the idea of wealth

Most of these new titles seem to be rehashes of existing and less exciting titles. "Business Analyst" => "Data Scientist" "Customer Acquisition" => "Growth Hacker" "Generalist Programmer" => "Full Stack Engineer"

Stuff like this is where search in its current form fails. Action.IO allows for browser based coding, and potentially development in the cloud. Heroku started out doing development in the cloud before they pivoted to PAAS.

Seconding Flippa. There are real deep pocketed buyers on Flippa and real sites that go for six figures fairly regularly.

PPA can be as misleading as CPC or CPM. If you ask for an email, it could be iframed with a more compelling offer. If you ask for a credit card purchase, it could be done with big blocks of stolen credit card numbers. This also does not inc

OP is a middlebrow dismissal, but I'll bite. She went through 500startups, so it's pretty likely she wants to go through the VC path. Looking at the site and the product (sample food monthly subscription like birchbox but for food), the cha

It was pretty easy, and exactly how tansey describes. The hardest part was that listening to lectures alone was not sufficient to do the homeworks. You needed outside resources that gave better and fuller explanations of the concepts. I thi

It sounds like you want an entry level front end web dev position. Try to make your future job title as specific as you can. "Front-end developer experienced with JQuery and django interested in ecommerce" is better than a generic "front-en

You may want to try searching LinkedIn profiles first, to get a better idea of the potential pool of applicants. Mostly this will help make sure you're not looking for a unicorn. The job description is a bit vague. It doesn't really describ

Checkout how airbnb does this. It's technically not posting directly, but directing user to the right page and populating the post information in a nice looking format. T&C compliant :)

A hackathon is another form of self selection, much like going to a club where any guy needs to buy a bottle to get in. The bottle in this case is willingness to spend your free weekend on coding up some random project. Usually the particip

Yes. Housing is expensive, and probably not realistic at $100k / yr. Rent can be cheaper in SV (In Millbrae older 2-3br apt can be $2k / mo). Taxes are higher too.
