Would any mods be able to advise on any specific guidelines for posting job opportunities for Clojure developer roles here on Clojureverse?
I would have thought it’d be something to be encouraged in a healthy community but I’ve taken a look around and there’s no mention in the community guidelines, I haven’t seen any category that is a particularly good fit nor anyone else posting opportunities.
Should roles be posted in the watercooler category? Or is it even something that’s wanted here?
Hi @adam thanks for bringing this up. I considered adding a Jobs category, but decided against it given that there are already a few Clojure job boards out there. That said, if there’s demand for having a Jobs category here I’m all for adding it.
Thanks @plexus, well obviously given I have a couple of opportunities (for Clojure devs in London right now ) I’m all for a Jobs category but judging by the lack of traction on this thread perhaps I’m the only one?
Not for me to tell others how to mold this site. But I think it’d be cool if people posted in a “What are you learning/working on this week?” thread, and mentioned how they wish they had another teammate—who the team fortunately can fund.
To me, “job postings” are clearly different from other community posts. Ritual formality. A bit adversarial with gatekeepers, negotiation, “bonus points if you…”
Whereas mentioning the need for a teammate is more about the mutual work itself. (“Hmm, WeFarm’s goal is obviously motivating, I have the skills and motivation to help, and you can fund my living… Hopefully we get along.”)
But just my random thoughts! I might be in the minority here.
