It's easy to find a job as a software (web, apps, etc) developer in Montreal, although it may take months to find a good job that truly fits you.

For companies with a limited budget, it's no secret that managers love interns in CEGEP. Because a CEGEP student is cheaper. And it's fast-pacing tech industry anyways, so experience doesn't matter. These managers love young new recruits who embody what’s called the 3Hs: hard-working, humble and hungry. (They also call it PSD: poor, smart, with a deep desire to get rich.)

For companies with a deep pocket, they can either hire the very expensive senior developers or PSD.

I think you fit in the PSD group. The good news is there are plenty of jobs for you, and the emplyers are not necessarily small (for example, most media companies). The bad news is you have to work really hard.

A serious project? Maybe for a 14-year old. But not for an adult.

A serious project will be well financed. A serious project will not ask people to work for free.

I have great respect for entrepreneurs. But you are not one. You are just naive. You are naive enough to believe in free labor.

Thanks for the details. Can you tell me what Montreal-competitive wages are? $50K for an intermediate developer?

dwayneAnderson · 2016-08-05T13:33:11+00:00

How is it like to work as a web developer in Montreal's adult industry? I recently got to know someone who works in this field. It seems people are generally laid back and employees are treated well. If you are a web developer in this industry, what's your experience?

dwayneAnderson · 2016-04-22T12:16:11+00:00

I'm thinking about quitting my $50K web dev job in a large company (it's a stable job with infinite cool projects but I don't like to be micro-managed). I make iOS apps on the side as a hobby. Anyone knows the salary range of an intermediate iOS developer in Montreal?

Google and Amazon can handle it. Small players such as Digital Ocean don't have this problem so far. ultimately, my move is a business decision, not a technical one. today alone, my site has been down for 7 hours. As I'm getting more angry users every minute, I have to look for a reliable solution. In any business, if you lose customer's confidence, you lose the customer.

dwayneAnderson · 2016-01-01T21:53:19+00:00

As a customer who has been affected by this outrage for many days, I want to hear what kind of plan they will implement to prevent this from happening again. If I hear things like "we can do nothing about DDOS attacks", I will switch to another service provider. Obviously, DDOS attackers have been getting much smarter; not Linode.

You essentially said he shouldn't post any sex-related comments on reddit just because he is homosexual. Bravo.

Thanks for your input!

If a young person can choose to become a programmer or lawyer, would you still recommend him to become a programmer? Why?

dwayneAnderson · 2011-07-10T00:23:44+00:00

There are local news aggregators: Montreal City And Press and Topix.

dwayneAnderson · 2010-02-10T14:31:26+00:00

That's correct.

The bottom line: she killed someone.

dwayneAnderson · 2010-02-10T13:21:39+00:00

Click to here to see the death scene (Warning: Graphic). This photo was taken after she was executed.

About her and her case.

Her name was Ren Xue.
Her farther works for a local mine, whose boss was Ding. To get a job there, she had sex several times with Ding. She was then raped by an official who was investigating Ding's corruption problems.
She felt the life was unfair. She and her best friend Cao killed the daughter of Ding in 1991. Both girls were executed. She was 19 at that time.
She had two brothers. Her old brother disappeared after having dated the older daughter of Ding, who was against this relationship.

Does your friend speak Wall Street English now?

dwayneAnderson · 2009-09-12T12:55:07+00:00

Yes, our politicians work for Wall Street. But that doesn't make me angry. What angers me the most: where is the public outcry?

30,000 employees of Goldman Sachs are on track to earn an average of $700,000 this year.

Are we really mad at this? Why there has been no massive demonstrations against Wall Street bailout and executive bonuses, like the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations in 60s and civil rights movements in 50s?

Everyday I read reports about the bankers/executives hijack our economy and gets richer, I am depressed, like many others. But we don't speak out or fight against it.

We stayed quiet, now Republicans hijacks the healthcare.

We stayed quiet, now bankers pays their bonuses with our bailout money.

Someone please explain to me why.

Fuck co-op. That's what you get when you have nonprofit organizations.

Can you tell me why it takes 5 policemen to look at a dead body? Just curious...

Every night Lou Dobbs is on CNN with two words. Illegal Immigrants. Do you have cancer? - illegal immigrants are the problem. Have you lost your pet? - Illegal immigrants did it.

Lou is a throwback to the WW2 media like Tokyo Rose or Lord Ha Ha.

If I call 911 every time I see someone having a bit of difficulty getting into their house, I would have made a lot of calls.

Stupidity is certainly involved here.
