Taking the clue from last week editorial by Gabor, it made me think are those, who are in job, being paid adequately? I came across a post few days ago by Curtis "Ovid" Poe. It reminded me of an instance, few years ago, a very big Perl house in Central London exploiting Perl developers. It turned out Curtis had similar encounter with the same company. If it is happening in the city like London, you can imagine the exploitation in the smaller city. I know there are not many Perl developer roles in the city but should that be an excuse not to pay adequately? A very close friend of mine, an exceptional Perl developer, started exploring Dev Ops role recently. I think it makes sense and natural transition for any Perl developers. Some even adopted Go lang as well, which is completely in a different zone. I wonder when are we going to see Perl6 role being advertised. Is it not ready and stable enough yet for production code? I have noticed it made lots of positive noise recently. At last, I realised that I have completed one year as an assistant editor of PerlWeekly newsletter. On 21st May 2018, I edited my first PerlWeekly newsletter. It has been wonderful experience so far for me. I would like to thank Chief Editor Gabor Szabo for the guidance and moral support. Enjoy and have fun reading the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

When’s the last time you worked someplace for decades? Our client, nestled in charming Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has a lot of programmers who meet that criterion. Why? It’s simply a wonderful home for programmers. They’re a shop with focus, and devoted to Perl – and only Perl. It grants hands-off autonomy to its coders, and abides no prima donnas. Employees come to work to get things done. |

What if you had a job you loved, and that job helped other people find jobs they loved? If you’re an advocate of ‘sharing is caring’, then jump on the merry-go-round of contentment where everybody’s satisfied. |

Perl mentor needed for large and growing team - train the next generation of Perl developers in Lond
Client is a very successful company in zone 2 with a large, dynamic team of Perl developers. Particularly committed to Perl, they hire across the seniority range – they’re especially good at training up inexperienced but capable junior developers, with frequent internal training run by the very capable and experienced senior developers. |
|
Taking the journey from Junior to Senior – and building a strong work history – is a lot more fun in the right job – somewhere with a strong work environment, talented and friendly colleagues, and projects that actually have real-world impact. But what’s more, a company that gives you increasing responsibility month on month and room to grow is going to give you the ultimate boost. |
|
Perl developers are generally a multi-talented bunch who can segue smoothly between the nuts and bolts of back-end work and the immediately rewarding aesthetics of front-end work. If pushed, though, most could identify where their real passion lies along the spectrum from front-end to back-end. |
