How did you make the switch? Were you already working for the same company? Did you already know Clojure, from open source, or side projects?

I work at Ladder [0], and almost everything is done in Clojure/ClojureScript here. I had no previous experience in Clojure – Ladder ramps you if you haven't used it before. My interview was in Python. We're currently hiring senior engineers, no Clojure experience necessary [1].

This is great to hear that Clojure experience is not a requirement! Thank you for sharing. I am based in NY and not willing to relocate, so I will look into NY/remote companies :)

Looks like the remote situation is only temporary.

From their website [0]: "On returning to our office in Palo Alto, California At the moment, our employees are currently living and working all over the country. When it’s safe to gather again, we fully intend to return to the office."
