If you're in/willing to relocate to San Francisco, feel free to message me–I definitely can relate to your experience about dramatically different Scala cultures, and could recommend some companies that will likely value your experience while being willing to train you in Functional Scala (including my current employer, where I lead a Scala study group.)

I appreciate that -- unfortunately I am focusing mostly on the Eastern US for family reasons and I doubt SF would work out for me. Glad to hear there are some good Scala companies out there though.
