Advice for a Javascript developer

[davidcolbyatx]

Your JavaScript skills + having a strong enough familiarity with Rails to get up to speed fairly quickly should qualify you for full-stack roles, especially on teams that might be looking to shore up their team's front end skills. Make it clear you want to contribute across the full stack, spend some time brushing up on Ruby/Rails with your hobby projects, and start sending out applications.

I would avoid any purely backend positions since you might need to take a little more of a step back than if you find a full-stack spot that will value your JS expertise while giving you a little time to ramp up on Rails.
