I totally agree and I would prefer a job in a startup because of the high exposure to recent technologies and the focus in the final product. I tried to search for startups in London, however I didn't find much until now. Do you know any site (if it exists) where I could search for startup companies in London?

Don't despair cause there's still a strong search for software developers on the market. Java is still a good technology to know, since a lot of people are interested in that. Otherwise, you can just spend a couple of weekends in your room, learning a new technology and making a fun project out of it.

Also, next time you get a job, try to get it in a small company (max. 50-100 people), because those are the companies that really need to be on top of their game in order to make a profit, so you'll be learning a lot of new stuff there.

Here's a couple of websites to get you started on your job hunt:

http://startuply.com/ - startups

http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ - I actually did a search on london and quite a few companies popped up

http://jobs.github.com/positions

I follow the London craigslist and that one has some open start-up positions every now and then

And also there is www.monster.com, but the postings there are not usually startups.

I wish you good luck. If you make it big in a start-up, let us know how you did it.

Definitely, too bad Indeed.com doesn't really cover that territory in force yet. It's now the number one site in the US, and they have tons of start-up company positions in their search engine.
