REVERSE JOB SEARCH: I will pay to work at your company
Location: NYC
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: open for discussion
Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React
Email: REDACTED_EMAIL
I am a coding bootcamp graduate who is having a hard time finding my first dev job.
PROBLEM:
Most internships want students who are in college (I'm not) and most junior positions want people with at least 2 years of experience. I'm looking for my first front-end development job.
ABOUT ME:
- I changed careers from the medical field.
- I graduated from a good coding bootcamp, so I know basic HTML, CSS, and JS.
- I briefly helped a friend with a React / Redux app, so I know the fundamentals of React.
Because I've had a hard time finding my first job, I was thinking about going back to take more web development classes to build up my portfolio. The school I was looking into is about $10K and it lasts 7 months.
So instead of that, I wanted to see if there are any companies out there that I can pay who is willing to let me learn on the job. I know it's a rather crazy idea, but you never know, right?
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
- I want to be treated like any other dev in the company (work with PMs, designers, other devs, and be assigned tasks).
- I'm interested in front-end development particularly.
- Since I have started learning React, I would prefer to work on a React app.
- I would like to work with someone who is patient and is good at mentoring beginners.
- The company should be located in NYC ideally (but open to remote if you think it can work).
- The job should last full-time, 7 months at least (ideally).
- Since I'm paying and the whole point is to learn on the job, I'd expect the interview process to be more lenient.
PAYMENT / "TUITION":
- Up to $10K
