How companies rate programmers in USA ?
-
The USA being a communist country, the central board releases guidelines every year on how this should be done. Seriously, this is a crazy question, because every company is different. I'm not even sure what you mean by 'rate' ? Do you mean when deciding to hire ? They hire people who they think will fit in to their teams and do a good job of the work required, surely ?

You are so brash that call that a crazy question. Probably just because you have MVP icon.

Other way round. Christian is the outstanding member in this community ranked higher and held in loftier regards than any other person. Your question was stupidly worded and not thought out. CG pulled you up for it.

As I was interviewing at one company they showed me a list of job titles: Programmer I, Programmer II, Software Developer I, etc. Each title having a description for what each meant and a corresponding experience level. They told me to pick out the title that matched my skills. I guessed (correctly as it turned out) that they were going to use this to base my pay on. So to play the game I picked a description that required about 5 more years experience than I actually had. :-\

You are his adherent so you defend him. Just because I asked a general question does not make it a stupid question. No matter how high Christian is ranked in CP. He was totally wrong.

Baseless accusation is rude.

It's not about how your question is general or technical. You're basically asking what toppings does Americans like in their pizzas. That's just too much.

Care to explain?
Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos. It's because English is my primary language, not my first language. My first languages are C# and Java. VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language. Indonesian came as my third language. My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! :-D

That parable is not relevant in this case. Because companies are not comparable to people eating pizzas. it is like comparing a human reading to a cockroach walking on the wall.

Firo's example is correct. There are as many different criteria as there are companies. Some want experience, others prefer potential. Where a particular skill is needed by one company it will be a negative with another. Sociable or quite? Depends on the company. Smart / casual? Every company is different and as such has different requirements, there is no single underlying trend for an American company; technical or not.

I mean getting employed as a web developer must not be hard. Good news if it is true.

Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
