| I just signed up and am pretty dismayed by the "thanks" email I got. I honestly wish I didn't take the time to sign up for this ------------------- Thanks so much for your application! We will thoroughly review it and if your application is approved, you'll be sent a second confirmation email 72 hours before an auction launches with an opt-in link to confirm your participation. We've been very excited to receive thousands of applications to participate in each of our auctions, but unfortunately we can only let in a select pool of candidates. We will be judging applications based on: 1.) Location. We are primarily focused on the SF Bay Area, NYC, Boston, and LA though select Engineers from Austin, Denver, Seattle, and developers that are willing to relocate are also let onto the platform. 2.) Likelyhood to attract offers from employers. For example, Python and Rails Developers are much more in-demand among start-ups than .NET Programmers 3.) Education History & Open-source contributions. We favour Engineers from the likes of MIT, UC Berkeley and Stanford as well as Engineers who have notable GitHub accounts. 4.) Notable accomplishments & achievements. Make sure your profile is complete! |
