HOW TO BE HIRED BY company and avoid AGENCIES???

Seriously, I am done. My last agency was freaking awful. Please, tell me, how to be hired to full time by company (apply on career page?πŸ€”) and avoid those terrible agencies, who wanna pay me 30% of what company pay total. That's crazy and I am frustrated! P.s. I am QA, not dev

Apply on the careers page or ask someone you know at that company to refer you. Do a lot of leetcode first.

Ufff. It is difficult to get, when you don't have strong networking here

How much are you paid? Location? How much does the agency take?

Cepheid πŸ’»πŸ“–πŸ“šβš« OP Nov 21, 2019

Bay area. 85K per year as a contract. I don't know how much they take, but they take a lot. At least 50% from original amount

They give you 85k? Do they give you health insurance? Any bonus?

I used to be QA/test too, then decided it was incredibly limiting to my career to stay that way. Life is better as a dev. Bridge the gap, leet code, take a contract dev job, get more experience, get FT dev job.
