Please state the job location and include the keywords REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA when the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per month, please. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.

Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

Readers: please only email submitters if you personally are interested in the job—no recruiters or sales calls.

Regardless of where you're applying this year I'd say make sure you focus your application on specific roles, highlight your work and personal projects (over academics) and don't treat interview results as a reflection of personal worth. Good luck with your job hunt !.

That is an incredibly sweet thing to say.

In the beginning of my career I often beat myself up (not literally!) over rejections and it contributed to my imposter syndrome. I realized later that job interviews look for very specific skills and are definitely not (and can't) be a comprehensive assessment of one's personal skills; or a predictor of future success.

Absolutely, I think everyone who runs these interviews knows that they miss out on great employees.

Theres so many random variables in an interview that a candidate/interviewer can't control.

Shopify seems like a great place to work, I've met some of their dev team when they came recruiting in my city, amazing folk.
