My current job by talking to a friend/pre work college now college again.

But my search strategy changed over time.

1. My network was much smaller 10 years ago and I knew a lot less local companies.

Now I also Google around for companies I would like to work for. Like Google, GitHub, Netflix etc.

I also research what company is doing what I think is good for society like agriculture and automatiosation.

Currently I'm slightly stuck as my company allows remote work a d I want to buy a farm. So I'm not sure if I can jump continents (like USA) to work on bigger agriculture projects or if the farm and remote work will be more of my thing.

I also focus much more on the people I would work with and ask about the team etc.

But I also looked through ALL job postings in my city to get a better feeling what is out there. Probably I read 1000 job postings last time I was searching.

My Tipp: start with one two super unrealistic dream job companies than move to your top choice more realistic companies.

You don't want to get an offer from your 5th choice while still stuck in the hiring process for your dream job.

I would still quit a new job if the Dre job suddenly comes up.
