| I looked for a job for 3 months and found one last December. It was tough. I shared details here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33882074. Unfortunately I didn't realize I had replies until it was too late and could no longer reply there :( More people shared their experience there, and a lot shared super nice comments which were nice to read. Since then, 32 recruiters sent me message request at LinkedIn whom I have not yet accepted, 21 more sent me in-mails or I accepted them and have a conversation, and maybe 3 cold-contacted me via email. Wellfound (angel.co) seems to be a good place to be, too. I suspect difficulty in finding a job is related to how much quality and money you're looking for. If you're willing to accept anything you'll probably still find a job quickly. Context: I live in Argentina, and we do get contacted a LOT because we're generally cheaper than first-world-country developers, specially USA. That makes getting offers really easy, but getting an equal-work-equal-pay job that pays good salaries regardless of where I live is super challenging. |
