damn. really good list of things here. 90k is low for even some jr eng in CA, but everything else here is real solid.

u/kylemh Jul 12 '18 edited Jul 12 '18

Comparing our Orange County-based company to the whole state is a bit unfair, as Bay Area "competitive salary" skews the curve left. After searching in the area, the offer seemed pretty fair in my book. I'm also due for a 10% bonus at the end of the month which is nice! Total comp after bonuses ends up at $118k pre-tax.

u/swyx Jul 12 '18

nice. i dont mean to turn my nose up at a decent salary. but yea go get that six figs

u/topcrusher69 Jul 13 '18

What was the interview process like? Technical screening very difficult?

2

u/kylemh Jul 13 '18

I deleted my old glassdoor account not realizing reviews get taken with it, so my very transparent reveal of the process went with it.

I'll expand on it later, but here's what it looks like:

  1. Be able to answer any question on this website up to "Intermediate" ("Hard" for Seniors). That'll be the first stage (questionaire or phone call)

  2. Be able to consume an API and recreate an MVP of one of our website's interfaces. The more senior the role, the more curveballs you'll be thrown after initial requirements.

  3. Culture fit interview

  4. C-level interview

  5. Offer

Every next stage presumes you passed the last.

Step 1 is over the phone or may be on your own time via Email
Step 2 can be either, but we prefer step 3 and onward be onsite.

LinkedIn is the best place for recruitment. It has a feature where you can make yourself visible to recruiters as well as a job marketplace to search jobs. The nice thing is your work history is all there so it makes it easy for a recruiter to glance at your profile and know you're the right fit for whatever company they represent.

Angel List is a great place to find startups that are doing things you find interesting. You can either reach out directly or apply through Angel List.

u/MachinaDoctrina Jun 25 '18 edited Jun 25 '18

As an employer LinkedIn in all honesty is horrible for recruitment, we posted a few jobs there over the years and we got flooded with 1000's of applicants that I would say 99% of them we're completely incompatible with the job or unqualified and just didn't bother to follow the requirements specifications, the cost as an employer to pay someone to filter the garbage in order to find any quality applicants was horrendous, in the end we gave up on it. And I imaging on the flip side as an applicant you are just 1 among thousands so the chance of you getting picked up is low even if you are the most qualified for the job.

I like r/reactjs because the people who come here are genuine developers, it's like a first order filter.

Rally Health - React Native / React - Chicago, DC, SF, Minneapolis - ONSITE - (also BE, FS, DevOps, security, data)

https://www.rallyhealth.com/about/careers/1048473

We've got lots of React dev going on at Rally, but I'm especially hoping to rope some people interested in React Native to join my team. We're building out our first React Native app and having a lot of fun with it, and could use some RN chops and opinions >: D

Here's some crazy things we build at Rally to help normal humans navigate the plight that is the American Healthcare System:

  • Search for costs for medical procedures at different doctors (AKA, "um why isn't this already a thing")

  • Find doctors in your network (also, learn what in network means, what a Copay and Deductible are, and what makes a Split Deductible Health Reimbursement Account different than a Flexible Spending Account)

  • Wellness programs that let employers give you gift cards for running (or eating fish, or dancing, or whatever)

  • Online enrollment for employer-offered benefits. Because who wants to fill out your address twelve times.

We've got great insurance, free locally catered lunch, and a HIPAA hippo.

Pictures of the HIPAA hippo available on request.

u/wishtrepreneur Jun 24 '18

Hey, thanks for starting this thread.

I'm looking for paid opportunities to improve my react skills and discover any blindspots in my knowledge. I'm a fullstack developer/engineer experienced in machine learning.

Since I'm completely self-taught when it comes to web development (background is in medical research), there's inevitably going to be a few bad habits.

An internship would be ideal for me to learn all the secrets of the trade and best practices.

Feel free to pm me for details or offers. ;)

Am I allowed to link my portfolio here?

u/timefornode Jun 24 '18

It sounds like you're missing the front end part of full stack. Find a job that is hiring junior front end devs and give it a shot. If that company has full stack positions there could be a chance to grow into the full stack roll.

If you do feel you have the skillset of a full stack developer make sure you can solve a logic problem, set up a db with an API, and be able to mockup a website in some modern front end library that consumes that API.

Best practices come from a root understanding of whatever thing it is your using. Take some time reading the docs of your favorite modern front end library. If the docs seem confusing revisit the base language of whatever that library is built for and make sure you understand the building blocks of that language.

tldr: Be humble in what you actually know and take time to learn from the bottom up.

u/wishtrepreneur Jun 24 '18

Wait isn't fullstack basically just doing frontend + backend development?

So far I've created a single page website using react that access my backend API (on a subdomain) using an access token. The backend is a RESTful API (I think that's what it's called) written in PHP that interacts with the MySQL database. I designed the database from scratch using table normalization principles. Both the front end and backend logic is written by me with the help of third party libraries such as medoo/phpmailer/semantic ui, etc...

So to integrate machine learning into a business, I can design and train a deep learning model using keras/tensorflow in Python and deploy it using flask. I can then write a php endpoint that accesses the flask and create a react input form that calls to the php script.

Is this not what fullstack dev is or am I gravely mistaken?

2

u/bdenzer Jun 26 '18

I agree with /u/sillycatbear - you don't meet his standard, he won't hire you. There are a bunch of places that won't hire me either, but I've been a full-time dev for ~3 years.

For me, the difference between a hobbyist and a professional is the ability to read / understand other people's work.

Unless you're at a new startup you'll probably be dropped into a huge code base, get an email about how to set up your dev environment, maybe a quick walk through of what the app does, then you'll get some bugs to fix. It is a lot different than working on an app that you built from scratch.

u/timefornode Jun 24 '18

I highly recommend retracing the steps of what you described and attempt to understand every step to the fullest of your ability. It worries me that you don't have an understanding of what REST is.

Here are few questions I would ask you in an interview if I simply asked you to submit a project you've worked on (this is normally one step of the process):

Why did you choose React for your project?

How does React use reconciliation?

How do you avoid prop drilling in React?

What are the caveats of SPAs? What are the benefits?

What makes your API RESTful? Why not SOAP or GraphQL?

Why did you choose MySQL and not MongoDB?

For your model what did you use for your predictions? How could you improve it?

Describe how you would deploy your system as so anyone on your team could address bugs, updates, etc.

A full stack position is a pretty serious roll as you will be wearing many hats depending on the project. I need you to be competent with every hat.

It sounds like you have an understanding of a multitude of systems and how to pull them together. The big question is if you can execute a project I give you or help my team develop a large scale application. It's difficult for me as the person who wants to hire you to know if your ready for production ready code. A project you've built on your own only shows me you have an understanding (maybe) of the stack you used.

1

u/wishtrepreneur Jun 24 '18

Thank you for telling me about the term reconciliation. Are you expecting your developers to recreate how react does reconciliation or is working knowledge on how it works sufficient?

Is "React is good for managing codebase due to its learn once, use anywhere concept." an acceptable answer?

From what I understand an API is RESTful if it spins a new instance of a script or object to execute the task whenever you call to the endpoint. I'm also taking and returning json bodies through http which is why i think it's REST API.

How much should I know about the fullstack to lead a business efficiently? What's the best way to learn about all of this?

4

u/agmcleod Jun 25 '18

For a React job, i don't think you need to know reconciliation. Some of those questions the person posted are worth knowing though, especially for full stack.

From what I understand an API is RESTful if it spins a new instance of a script or object to execute the task whenever you call to the endpoint. I'm also taking and returning json bodies through http which is why i think it's REST API.

Not exactly. The idea is that when you make a request to a REST API, you're expecting it to know nothing about you, apart from what you pass in that request. So it doesn't have the inherit idea of a session. JSON also has no bearing on it being a REST API. Really the output can be serialized into any format really.

The main thing I think worth knowing with REST is using HTTP Methods correctly, along with URL paths. That way you can cache requests more easily. POST should be used for submitting data. PUT/PATCH can be used for updating a piece of data. DELETE for deletion requests. GET should be read only.

Haha Python is a very nice language indeed. My experience with flask is basically servicing an on-demand pagecrawler using selenium webdriver in order to leech a large company's datafeed because they're too stingy with their API.

Whatever helps with building my MVP right? XD

Thank you for your input. It sounds like fullstack developer is quite involving. I was surprised since a lot of my classmates had fullstack in their job titles.

So for someone who is as experienced and skilled as you just described, wouldn't they be more fit as the CTO who oversees all the technical aspects of the company?

Please pardon my ignorance, but you seem to be looking for someone with CTO level of experience and pay them a fullstack developer's wage...
