lastsilverback··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2017)
Hi, I applied for your front-end developer position a while back. Unfortunately, I didn't make the cut at the time.

Noticed you now have a note saying: "Please do not apply if you are not based within the timezones of UTC-2 to UTC+4, as we will be unable to consider your application."

Given I wish to move to Europe/Malta, but not currently in those timezones, would you still (re)consider me as a candidate? I have a valid EU/EEA passport.

/* MaxMind does not currently sponsor employment visas. */ Does one need work authorization for US? Or being a Canadian resident is OK?

Hi Thomas,

I am considering transitioning from my current position as a senior front-end dev to a different environment. Pretty comfortable and already working remote full-time in Canada, just looking for a change and maybe a bit better compensation.

Pretty sure I tick all your boxes in the requirements section and already experienced working remotely. Any chance you can disclose a salary range you are aiming at?

Do you have any evidence, or you're just speculating on your own experience? Most people would, of course, never admit they got hired based on luck instead of merit.

Tangentially, by dumb luck. Or they pretend to be C players and get paid as those.
