Use recruiters. They can probably get you in the door somewhere as a contractor, and from there on the trajectory is up (assuming you are any good).

Honestly, the worst part of my 6 months of job seeking after I resigned from my last job was that the interview loop is just soul crushing.

where does one find recruiters?

recently someone gave a talk about this topic, and he explained how he was not afraid of using recruiters or agencies, regardless of the cut they take. but he could not answer the question on how to actually find good recruiters.

I find the closest ‘Hays’ or ‘Morgan McKinley’ branch.

It’s not that I found a good recruiter immediately, but 6 months is a lot of time to try all of them.

To be honest, the only reason I’m aware some of them exist is because of the linkedin messages I get.
