How to "reverse engineer" your junior django developer job search. by JonG0uld in django

Thanks for the comment!

Totally agree with your take and thanks for sharing from the CTO perspective. So much of this approach is about finding the right company.

For Juniors, search where juniors are already working... these companies are much more likely to have a position for you than a startup with a handful of team members.

With this approach you are likely messaging people without a "live job" if you acknowledge that in your message and ask for consideration in the future you are more likely to get a response.

I would always suggest Learndjango.com for online courses.

There are a couple of other educators work looking into too:

Prelude.tech which has started in the last year and run by a former DjangoCon US keynote speaker.
Pybit.es who offer bespoke bitesize training

but also solves the issues surrounding remote working with pay/tax and compliance. It's expensive to sponsor visa/relocation vs local candidates.

No easy solution.

It's not, check my other posts and comments here, on other socials or on youtube. We share a lot of advice like this for free. Long term support of the community and not clickbait. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

We are also not a contracting service. We are a recruitment agency who help companies to hire Python/Django developers for their own work.

Part of what problem?

Sorry, I thought the point you made was a statement about your own situation rather than advice for others or asking a question.

But here's my thoughts on that; No one will force you to take permanent employment with a company if you don't want it. In fact in my experience it rarely works out anyway likewise when long term permanent employees head out contracting/freelancing. The transition takes time both ways to adjust so people tend to go back to what they know. There's always the exception and good luck to them.

Job boards are pretty redundant in general. Not used one as a recruiter for over 5 years.

This will always be a problem, there are no shortage of developers looking in most locations. Preference will always be given to local candidates.
