Job Matching # 1

Definition

Let's build a matchmaking system that helps discover jobs for developers based on a number of factors.

One of the simplest, yet most important factors is compensation. As developers we know how much money we need to support our lifestyle, so we generally have a rough idea of the minimum salary we would be satisfied with.

Let's give this a try. We'll create a function match which takes a candidate and a job, which will either return a boolean indicating whether the job is a valid match for the candidate.

A candidate will have a minimum salary, so it will look like this:

candidate = {
  'min_salary': 120000
}

A job will have a maximum salary, so it will look like this:

job = {
  'max_salary': 140000
}

If either the candidate's minimum salary or the job's maximum salary is not present, throw an error.

For a valid match, the candidate's minimum salary must be less than or equal to the job's maximum salary. However, let's also include 10% wiggle room (deducted from the candidate's minimum salary) in case the candidate is a rockstar who enjoys programming on Codewars in their spare time. The company offering the job may be able to work something out.

Given Code

def match(candidate, job):
    pass

---

Solution 1

def match(candidate, job):
    return candidate["min_salary"] <= job["max_salary"] or candidate["min_salary"] <= (job["max_salary"] + (candidate["min_salary"]/100*10))

---

Solution 2

def match(candidate, job):
    return return candidate['min_salary'] * 0.9 <= job['max_salary']
