Clojurians Log v2

The best strategy is when a person in charge (not HR) comes to you and asks whether you want the job. I wasted a year not doing this enough and now I landed a job this way. It's painful, but no specialist can easily help any of your devs. It won't help if you'll apply to useless fake job ads and to go into sweaty (yes, I used this word) leetcode interviews. Basically you have to make them know that they want you before you even talk to them.

i.e. get a job you can and then work up. That's what I do now.

(OP marked as spammer and post removed)

Was it spam? It seemed like an offbeat but possibly legit ask.

Jobs are specifically restricted to Clojure here. I am fairly certain it was a "front" for offshore body shops. I've seen that setup before: they hire someone who represents the remote team but does no actual work.

In particular "Strong understanding of common software stacks" -- because they'd be representing teams of Java/JS devs.

(I suspect we Admins normally delete spam posts from #jobs so fast that most folks here don't even see what we have to deal with from rogue recruiters/companies...)

fair. you know far better than I.
