How hard it is to find an Elixir job for junior devs?
Hi,
in your experience, how hard it is to find a job as a junior developer who has some experience and loves working with Elixir? From my research, most of the Elixir jobs out there are for senior devs with several years of experience.

This is due to survivor bias. The jobs that land on “public channels” are the jobs that the employer couldn’t fill with internal/local recruitment. If you want to find a junior position, then check out local meet-up (I assume that there is one) and ask there. It will be much easier to find it that way, especially if you have experience in another languages and you just want to “switch” to another language.

Timezones, taxes, employment laws and work permissions/trade embargos are the 4 major problems.

I’ve met good amount of companies that were okay with training Elixir devs.
Just ask and don’t be shy. Write a good letter and just ask if they would be okay to train you on the job.
