That was my first time visiting the UK.

I told them I intended to work on my company and they weren't bothered by that. They were mostly concerned that I didn't have a job elsewhere that I would have to go back to.

But you are right, it is a matter of luck.

Getting a visa may save you a lot of trouble. You really don't want to spend a night in a California immigration facility with MS-13 gang members [1].

I don't think many software developers or hiring mangers will be working tomorrow either.

whoishiring bot here. I agree that it would be far better to post these only on business days.

But if these posts don't show up on time on the first of the month, others will post them and they will be upvoted. Moderators would have to kill loads of posts until the appointed time.

Moving the thread is definitely a solvable problem, but I'm not sure that it is worth the extra moderation work. Furthermore, neither your whoishiring bot or its caretaker is a moderator.

OMG. It's so hard to find developers who write (not "right") integration or unit tests.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote (United States, US territories, or US persons only)

I'm looking for a copywriter with experience in direct response marketing ideally for non-profit or political fundraising.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote or Buenos Aires

I am looking for a web designer for a start up who can implement designs using HTML/CSS and specifically Bootstrap. I'll take care of any client side programming.

I'm looking for a simple, flat design with careful use of color like the digitalocean.com control panel.

Of course your concerns about working for an unfunded start up are justified. I am certainly not an ideal client with a large budget, but I will pay on time.

This is interesting. Can you point me to documentation about this program?

I fixed the posting to avoid this pretext for ignoring the intent of the thread: "Please do not post recruiting firms or job boards."

Please do not post job boards here. I recommend downvoting this item.

I'll fix that. Thanks!

The J1 visa for interns (current or former students) [1] and trainees (graduates with 2+ years of experience or others with 5+ years of experience) [2] is a very low overhead visa (just one form) and not subject to caps. So, it is very different from the H1B.

If you decide to hire a refugee on a J1 visas, I would be glad to help you sort it out. Please contact me at [email redacted].

The maximum duration for these visas is 18 months, but the Obama administration may reauthorize "Temporary Protected Status" [3] for Syrian nationals allowing them to stay in the country until it was deemed safe to return (which may be a decade away).

Please don't post job boards here. I recommend downvoting this item.

This was proposed during New-recurring-thread-proposal November

I agree this proposal wouldn't be useful to employed people who, thankfully, constitute the preponderance of the profession.

I think almost all open source projects are looking for help.

Mobile Jazz, I think your offering falls out of the scope of the freelancer thread.

Please don't post this again.

It isn't in your interest to disclose your salary history [1] and it probably isn't in your interest to work for a company whose first hiring filter is excluding anyone with the wherewithal to negotiate a fair salary.

Leapfrog, don't post your predatory ads targeting inexperienced software developers in this thread again.

[1] For a basic primer on negotiation read patio11's famous blog post: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation

Please do not hijack the thread.

Once again, this isn't meant to be a list of job boards. Please only submit specific openings.
