After we moved to USA my partner got suck in a form of job limbo. The previous occupation would require getting diploma equivalent in USA, so we looked for a decent intensive boot camp. Turns out there is some talent and skill, but.. hardly any responses from job market. The question is: what is the best way to start working in the it industry in Seattle? Where to look for the initial job? Or maybe a decent internship, even if unpaid, that would keep my partner in the business? We're looking for a front end developer position, angular, reactjs, angularjs, with type script, css, html, optionally some backend job around Ruby on Rails. They did learn how to work with restful apis and how to craft new ones if they need to build some backend services. Add firebase to that. The upside is that they have done some internship after the school and have a working experience, short but still some, working on a real project, in a team, with version control system. The learning process made perfect sense, as the entire school and following internship was revolving around real life cases and building legitimate projects: students leave with an actual portfolio on GitHub
Unless you give more info, it's hard to tell.
Don't know how I missed this obvious part. You're right. The profile we're looking for is a front end developer, angular, angularjs, reactjs - JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML. They have worked some on Ruby on Rails, too, but given the choice, they have invested several months of learning and hands on work in front end. Would make sense to follow this path.
What experience does your partner have and what job does your partner want? If you want to be an engineer, study leetcode and pass interview. Diplomas don’t matter for coding at most companies
Thanks. I've been thinking this would be the case, as for the most part the skill is a little more relevant. I have updated the post,I missed the most obvious detail. The profile is a front end developer (angular, angularjs, react, ...) - all the students graduate with a GitHub portfolio, spending a substantial amount of time building legitimate projects. They also have an internship after they complete, which comes with recommendations for good students. We just want to keep the momentum
