Location Types

I have a history of extensive travel, spending prolonged periods on client sites or with the team, fostering strong interpersonal connections. Following such on-site engagements, I seamlessly transition back to remote work from the comfort of my home base, in the event the role calls for it.

  • On-Client-Site (a.k.a., On Site)
  • Remotely
  • Hybrid

Location & Relocation:

I will consider Travel & Relocation. See Location, Location, Relocation and Travel and Commute Constraints sections below for more details.

Location, Location, Relocation!

Optimal for me would be a position situated in close proximity to my current location, although I am certainly amenable to the possibility of traveling or relocating for the right opportunity.

Current Location:

  • Middleborough, Massachusetts

Relocation:

(Min $6K+ Relocation Package). I will relocate to:

  • San Diego, California
  • San Francisco, California
  • Silicon Valley, California

Additional incentives may be necessary for any alternative location within the United States. However, it‘s important to note that relocation is not an absolute prerequisite. See, Travel and Commuting section below for more details.

Travel & Commute Constraints

Drawing from firsthand experience, I can affirm that I have minimal travel or commute restrictions. I am willing to undertake necessary travel and commuting for most roles, particularly in emergency situations, as long as the overall benefits align with the responsibilities outlined in agreements with a potential employer.

Travel Only:

This section assumes we are talking about a job opportunity that requires travel, and is not a relocation effort or local commute. For more details on Relocations, see Relocation section.

  • Will Travel? Yes
  • Nationally? More than or equal to 50%
  • Internationally? Depends on Opportunities

Local Commuting Only:

This section assumes we are talking about commuting only. I will commute to just about anywhere in the Massachusetts area and beyond.

Desired Job Types/Positions

As indicated in the preceding section on Current Titles, it is not unusual for me to possess multiple titles within a particular company. Furthermore, it is equally common for fellow developers or staffing firms to casually include these titles on resumes, often without a comprehensive grasp of the significance of distinguishing between the various titles I frequently assume and the corresponding responsibilities associated with each title.

Foremost, I approach my roles with a profound sense of dedication when collaborating with companies. Equally crucial to me is ensuring that prospective employers comprehend the responsibilities I intend to undertake, rooted in the primary titles I employ in delivering my services.

Lead, Sr. Full-Stack .NET Developer:

  • Creative Design Development
  • Client-Side Development
  • Server-Side Development
  • Database Development

The tiers described above, consist of dozens of technologies I expect to implement as Lead, Sr. Full-Stack .NET Developer. To see ALL skills, technologies and design patterns I use today, see the section, entitled, "What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience?" below.

Solution Architect:

  • Requirement Analysis
  • System Design
  • Technology Selection
  • Code Review and Quality Assurance
  • Scalability and Performance Optimization
  • Security
  • Integration and Interoperability
  • Performance Monitoring and Optimization
  • Risk Management

Frequently, I seamlessly integrate these roles, and it's worth noting that adjustments to rates and/or salary may be applied. See the section, entitled, "Current Hourly Rates & Salary Demands" section for more details.

Employment Types

I am looking for a potential client or employer who will allow me the pleasure of working with them as one of the following:

Most Common Employment Types I Support:

  • Freelancer Consultant
  • Contractor 1099
  • Contractor W2
  • Contractor-to-Perm
  • Direct-Higher Employee
  • C2C (i.e., Corp to Corp)
  • Sole (i.e., Sole Proprietorship)

Direct-Hire Preferences:

While not mandatory, I do have specific preferences regarding Contractor-to-Perm transitions, especially in the context of Direct-Hire positions.

Best Way to Handle Right to Represent Confirmation:

To ensure a smooth Right to Represent Confirmation, please reach out to me online or via email with the subject line "Jason, Final Confirmation Needed". I give priority to messages with this title amid the numerous messages I receive daily.

Primary Objectives: Company Structure

The company structure I look for is that of a relatively stable environment, with an engaging philosophy, smart & collaborative teams, and a friendly-but-firm culture (although not a requirement). I’m completely outfitted, capable and competent to work in most environments, including “high pressure situations”, whether it be an On-Site, Remote or Hybrid setting, and regardless of travel-time, location, relocation, etc.

Skill Matrix: What Are Your Skills, Tech Stacks & Years‘ Experience?

I have more than 2 decades of experience, and over 40 different Desktop, Web & Mobile Technologies, IDEs, Skills, Design Patterns, Best Practices and Graphic/Video Designers under my belt. Moreover, I created this section so Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms, Talent Acquisition Specialists & Potential Employers can identify skills and my years experience.

Recent jSilvestri.com BETA v 2024.4.29.13 Technology Discovery

I feel it is imperative to stay ahead of the curve with what the newest technologies have to offer. I do my absolute best to make some discovery on skills, technologies & design patterns that complement new or existing projects.

Jason Silvestri Secondary Skillsets

I consider secondary skills a series of these skills, technologies, design patterns, best practices, and strategies that are remarkably close to primary skillsets. In fact, some were once primary skills, but were demoted for one or more reasons, such as lack of supply-and-demand, technology, deprecation, not used in my most recent project(s), while others were simply explored enough yet to consider them less than professional to expert level efficiency.

Source Control

My primary forms of Source Control are as follows:

  • Git
  • DevOps (VSTS, Teams Foundation)

I do have past experience with TortoiseSVN.

Project Management (Scrum) Types

How teams handle Project Management Styles, Tasks and/or tickets vary. I am completely outfitted, capable and competent using the Project Management Styles that follows:

Project Management Styles:

  • Scrum (e.g, with actual Scrum Master)
  • Waterfall
  • Agile
  • PLM Tiles (a.k.a., Tiles™)

Full disclosure? The Agile Project Management Style, has consistently stood out as the preferred methodology in the realm of project management across the various teams I've collaborated with over the past several years.

Read More?

Project Tasks and/or Tickets:

With respects to task or ticket management, JIRA has been the most used across the board in recent years (no pun intended), but DevOps is on the rise, and I am surprised it is not more widely used in Visual Studio and/or Microsoft stacks in specific. It is a good option.

Last 4 Digits of my Social Security Number

Access Denied!

Regrettably, I cannot share sensitive information such as my last 4 digits of social security number for job applications. While many reputable companies request such details for initial candidate entries, I prefer to reserve this information for firms I trust implicitly. If necessary, I would be open to sharing during the later stages of the hiring process, specifically during the background check phase. Let's explore alternative methods to proceed.

Obtaining My References (Rules of Engagement)

Guaranteed 2-3 References

I possess a comprehensive array of references spanning virtually every job or project I've been involved in. Beyond merely delivering quality work, there's a specific rationale behind this approach. I refrain from indiscriminately sharing references to populate lead lists. Instead, I reserve the disclosure of references until the final stages of the interview process. This practice is rooted in my commitment to honoring the time, privacy, and policies of my references while maintaining the privilege of utilizing their insights judiciously.

Background Checks & Drug Tests

Verified: Will Do Checks & Tests!

The majority of my work falls within the realms of classification, HIPAA compliance, or other highly regulated frameworks. I am open to undergoing any necessary background checks or drug tests as required.

Do You Have a Security Clearance?

I will not confirm nor deny whether I have an active security clearance, and/or currently seeking security clearance level projects at this time.

This is, of course, assuming you are referring to one of the following publicly known security clearances:

I am completely outfitted, capable and competent to work:

  • Controlled Unclassified
  • Public Trust Position
  • Confidential
  • Secret
  • Top Secret
  • Compartmented
  • Cosmic

Interviews: Phone Screens, F2F Interviews & Estimates

I will go on as many interviews, phone screens or even estimate phone calls with potential clients or employers, free of charge, and at a preferred time that is best for them.

Perform Phone Screen Interview:

Performing a phone screen interview consists of an interview with one or more individuals via phone. This often requires a follow up of one or more of the other interview types later; that is if the client is impressed with the initial phone screen. It is rare a phone screen is the only interview option asked of me, but I have nailed interviews in the past with a single phone call before.

Earliest Availability:
24 hrs

Perform Screen Share Interview:

Performing a screen share interview always involves an interview with one or more individuals with an additional screen sharing technology incorporated into the interview process; Microsoft Teams, WebEx, Zoom and/or Skype are potential platforms.

Earliest Availability:
24 hrs

Perform Face to Face Interview:

Performing a Face to Face (F2F) interview involves an interview with one or more individuals on-site with the client. I prefer the F2F approach over all others for several reasons. However, one of the other types tends to be the initial choice of the client, first. Then, F2F.

Earliest Availability:
48-72 hrs

Interview Do’s and Don’ts:

As we all know, a lot can go on in an interview. In fact, I embrace most activities, and I am open to most things.

Interview Do's:

My Primary Interview Do's are as follows:

  • Meet Whenever is Best for the Client: I almost always prefer to do interviews whenever is best for the client.
  • Interview with Multiple People: I have no problem doing interviews with one or more people. In fact, I encourage we have as many people in the interview that should be there, and for all the right reasons. Even if it means waiting to a later date to ensure it so.
  • A Million Questions: I have no problem answering hours worth of questions if the interview or position calls for it.
  • Walking Through Code: I have no problem walking through my personal codebase with the client's developers, or if they want to open up their codebase, as I am asked to explain what we are looking at with this area of the application(s) or that area of the application(s).
  • Homework Developments: I have no problem being asked to create an application, based on sample business requirements, and then submit the code logic for review.

Interview Don’ts:

My Primary Interview Don’ts are as follows:

  • Client Proprietary Works: Unless there is written NDA, I do not want to view or demo Client Proprietary works of any kind(mine or yours).
  • Surprise Code Tests: I do not do, nor appreciate, surprise code tests on the fly(of any kind). Nor do I want to see a client's developer(s) be put on the spot and asked to code test me on the fly without their knowledge ahead of time.

    In both scenarios, a multitude of potential challenges emerges from the outset. To begin with, the mere fact that your developers frequently utilize a specific technology or design pattern does not necessarily align with my recent experiences. As a .NET Full Stack Developer, my responsibilities often involve swiftly transitioning between distinct project features, dedicating extended periods to singular tasks. This intense focus is essential for effective code creation. Placing either party in a situation where spontaneous coding is expected might yield unforeseen outcomes, potentially prematurely concluding an interview. In such cases, the true compatibility between the candidate and the organization may be overlooked, resulting in losses for both parties.

Start Dates: When Can You Start?

I assume the following when asked about Start Dates:

  • I have already been on all interviews,
  • The client or employer gave me an offer,
  • and I accepted that offer.

Earliest Start Date:

Immediately (approximately 24 hrs)

Where are You at with the Hiring Process?

My door for new opportunities is closing. Please refer to the Are you ON-the-Market/Available for Work?! section for more details.

How Does Jason Feel About Working with Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists?

jSilvestri.com BETA v 2024.4.29.13 - Figure 1.1 - NEW Talent Acquisition to Final Offer Lifecycle Process
I take working with Headhunters, Recruiting Teams, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists very seriously. In fact, if you wonder how it is possible to manually process over 60,000 work offer solicitations, across a span of just the past year without going nuts, it is because of the following process:

I've recently developed a detailed lifecycle process called the "Talent Acquisition to Final Offer Lifecycle Process." This comprehensive framework encompasses various sophisticated workflow states, each corresponding to specific actions and steps involved in my interactions with headhunters, recruiters, staffing firms, and talent acquisition specialists.

The process begins when I become "On-the-Market" and continues until I accept a "Final Offer Letter" from one of their clients or, in rare instances, directly from the potential employer. This lifecycle is an extension of my custom Lead Generation Lifecycle Process (LGLP), serving as a testament to my commitment and seriousness about the entire recruitment process when communicating with recruiters and potential employers.

Please visit the section of my web-mobile application, entitled, “ Jason Silvestri on the Talent Acquisition to Final Offer Lifecycle Process” for more details.

Rules of Engagement for Implementation Partners and/or 3rd Party Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists

I have noticed an alarming new trend with Implementation Partners and/or 3rd Party Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists. It is highly recommended these types of firms visit the new Rules of Engagement for Implementation Partners and/or 3rd Party Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists section, for important information relative to the Rules of Engagement I just recently released.

Irrelevant Roles are Hurting Your Role Placement & My Response Time

In addition, if you want to help reduce the amount of time it takes to respond to the average person, please pass this section around to your colleagues: Irrelevant Roles: How It's Affecting Role Placement & Response Time.

Rules of Engagement for Implementation Partners and/or 3rd Party Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists

In the previous section, How Does Jason Feel About Collaborating with Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists I emphasized the importance I place on partnering with these professionals.

However, I've observed a concerning trend among many Headhunters, Recruiting Teams, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists, particularly within international teams. Some third-party staffing firms are collaborating with primary staffing firms (now referred to as Implementation Partners), who are the primary professionals liaising with the direct client. What's troubling is that many of these third-party entities are not adhering to ethical guidelines and may lack proper authorization to represent candidates, Implementation Partners, or the Direct Client. Furthermore, they often propose rates and salaries significantly below market value, compromising the candidate's worth. This exploitation of candidates is unsustainable and unacceptable.

It's essential to acknowledge that candidates contribute the bulk of billable hours in the recruiter-candidate relationship, with only a small fraction allocated to administrative tasks such as emails, phone calls, interview management, or in-person client meetings. As such, candidates deserve fair and transparent treatment throughout the recruitment process.

I am doing my best to overlook the current trend, but if it increases, I will make efforts to start phasing out collaborations wth any 3rd Party Headhunters, Recruiting Teams, Staffing Firms & Talent Acquisition Specialists and their Implementation Partners.

Irrelevant Roles: How They're Affecting Role Placement & Response Time

Surprisingly, a significant portion of the emails, job board messages, and social media inquiries I receive—over 93%—relate to job offers. However, a staggering 90% of these roles are either unrelated to my skill set or are located in areas I am not currently open to relocating to, especially given my Salary/Rate and relocation package preferences. This discrepancy wouldn't be an issue if my experience wasn't in high demand or if I lacked skills in sought-after sectors. Unfortunately, neither is the case.

The core problem lies in certain recruiters and talent acquisition specialists not conducting sufficient discovery on my profile or failing to appropriately match candidates with job requirements before reaching out. This situation is unfair to those hardworking specialists who diligently make relevant pairings. Moreover, it hinders my ability to focus on firms presenting suitable roles, which is the main reason for creating this page.

I kindly request recruiters and talent acquisition specialists to invest some time in researching potential candidates before sending out requirements. Whether it's me or someone else next time, this approach will help reduce unnecessary noise and enhance collaboration with specialists in your field.

Existing Clients

I have wrapped up most client obligations for 2022, 2023 & 2024. At the same time, though, I know some of you will continue to need support until we conclude the latest efforts in the automation of your business workflows and lifecycle processes, discovery of new technologies, etc. I will continue to help when I can while I am On-the-Market. Conversely, this will drastically change when I am Off-the-Market. In fact, I follow a strict set of On-the-Market & Off-the-Market Rules of Engagement.

In the meantime, feel free to contact me when you are ready and need assistance.

Prospects

I am not currently investing in any type of paid advertising. However, it is possible that you found me through some form of an old advert. Maybe I was recommended to you by a friend. It could be that you simply saw a post on LinkedIn or Twitter. However you found me, I certainly appreciate the visit and welcome to my brand new jsilvestri.com BETA v 2024 web and mobile application user experiences!

Conversely, it's important to mention that my primary focus at the moment is on collaborating with potential employers, rather than engaging with new or existing clients, and/or prospects seeking new business. The only exception is if you have an emergency situation.

In fact, I have a very particular target job type right now. To learn more, see the Desired Job Types/Positions & Current Titles section on this page. Otherwise, feel free to review my current pricing for help on those smaller projects.

Direct-Hire Employers

If you are a Hiring Manager or HR Representative requesting additional occupation details from me and/or have feedback on a phone screen or interview I recently had with your company, please know that you have already been bumped up to the top of my call back list by default! I will be reaching back out to you sooner than everyone else.


If this is the first time you are contacting me, please feel free to contact me directly at any time!

In Closing
