Funny thing is that we pretty much can only pick two out of three in lots of different scenarios. Getting Chinese food takeout you get to pick two out of fast, good and cheap... 😁

Fast projects, good team, cheap sex.

Consulting version is PPP - People, Project and Place (location)

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS. Upon reading the job description, it’s clear I will be doing a lot of sales and client consulting over actually coding. I know they have a FE SWE role open. How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ?
