Hi, all, My name is Leandro Doctors. I am a member of ClojureBA, currently based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I write you for some career advise on getting my first (paid) Clojure job.
I have been wondering about this for some time now... *How do we break the circle?* (lack of jobs -> lack of developers -> lack of jobs...) Within ClojureBA, almost all of us would love getting a Clojure-centered job. However, hardly any company here would use the language. In fact, there is only one guy active in the group who has an actual Clojure job (a remote one, BTW). The rest of us, do Clojure in our spare time. In my particular case, I have been playing with Clojure for over a year now. Now, I am working towards getting real, professional (read: paid) Clojure experience. >From what I can see: -there are plenty of Clojure jobs in the EU and the US, with Clojure positions being difficult to fill -people such as @seancorfield have recently praised the idea of a training period (see the recent discussion on the #jobs-discuss Clojurians Slack channel). *Would anyone here know of companies open to offering a (remote/on-site) training period?* By training period I mean one or two months during which they would work with them (most likely, remotely-based), follow that person up and see how the relationship evolves after a month or two. A win-win situation, with low risk for both parties. If not, what would you advise to someone in my situation to improve the likeness of getting his/her first (paid) Clojure job? (I have international experience and speak several languages) Thank you in advance, Leandro -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
