Our product is historically PHP and Python, our new UI is React. I actually laughed when I found out our product was PHP/Flash based.
Also, what Cabell said. 100% remote if you want. Half of our company is remote, including my manager and half of my sprint team's devs.
I'm definitely considering my options. Capital One essentially down-leveled me to just above a new grad in both title and pay because of some "skill gaps". They said they were going to work with me and bring me up to speed quickly. I took the offerknowing I had a lot to learn and thought I was going to be mentored and actually learn things for a change rather than be thrown to the wolves and given the bare minimum to get by. Buuuuut that's exactly what I got, I should've known better. "Just figure it out" has been the only real guidance I've gotten. I'd have no issue with that if it wasn't for down leveling. Ryan's been great but entirely too busy to really help me most of the time since he does like 70% of the team's work. Long story, short this has been the slowest and messiest onboarding process I've ever experienced and hopefully ever will experience. I actually talked with my old employer about coming back as a senior dev to help them through all the growing pains they're experiencing under the new government oversight. They were really excited about that and I was too ... until they told me I'd have to come back at my old salary (lol)
Not sure I could hack it as a remote React developer though especially with PHP/Flash thrown in there. I've got little experience with all that. I have done a lot with Angular on my side gig though and that's been about the only good thing career-wise I've experienced out of this whole debacle. Amazon told me to try again in 6 months since I bombed one of their Online Assessment questions. I'd kill to come in as an L5 SDM but apparently they rarely do external hire for those and I'd have to pass the L6 bar which basically requires 2+ years leading at least a small team doing large scale work.
