JS + Ruby/Rails dev here w/ 3+ years experience under belt. Currently looking for job myself and have been for about 3 months. Funny how, like OP, my resume and exp. is "very impressive", yet it doesn't lead anywhere, not even to a phone interview sometimes.

I'm attempting the numbers game approach (apply for 100 companies, 5 will get back to you, select from those 5), but I've hit the edge of: what if there are none that are willing?

Thanks for the luck, will keep banging head against wall until a job is found. Happy holidays!

Two of our best engineers came from Hacker News. I'd be more than happy to chat if you're looking. Drop me a note at [e-mail]!

Hi,

We are having problems finding local devs so we could consider remote hands on deck. Drop me en email on jobs (at) nopio.com if that sounds interesting.

Merry Christmas!

3 years are impressive?

I wish I could downvote this. Maybe the guy went to Stanford or MIT. Maybe his Ruby work is available on Github and is solid. Maybe he did an independent project that showed remarkable creativity and drive. There are any number of reasons his resume could be "very impressive" with only 3 years under his belt. Don't be a dick.

You're the one who wants to downvote me.

I didn't say anything offensive, just asking a question.

Learn the difference between other people saying something offensive and yourself implying some offensive meaning into a neutral statement.

Well it is not the years but what you do in those that matters. I hope parent comments doesn't means 1 year experience repeated for years.

Given that Rails started 9 years ago, and the whole fad with JS frameworks nowadays, I'd imagine 3 years exp could land you a mid-level job.

where do you live?
