I have got several BigTech interviews as well as jobs through regular posting long form posts on LinkedIn.

One of the best framings I have learned is to teach yourself by writing. Think of it as a conversation with your friends and you are learning together.

Take the negative comments as a motivation to improve.

Go for it.

My question is how do you go from posting to interviews/offers? I've been blogging for years and I do it for my own sake, but I wouldn't mind these fringe benefits.

Write a short synopsis/summary/teaser to blogs posts that are germane to work areas/technologies/languages that you'd like to work on at a future employer. Post these to LinkedIn with a link to your original long form blog post. If you know anyone who works at employers you're interested in, ask if they could pass these along as well as inquiring about what kinds of content they think would be of interest to them and others inside the organization. Do the same as above with content you discover is relevant to insiders; if you haven't already written such content, plan to make future posts on these topics, as you already know you have a target audience for such.

I'm working on this myself, for myself, as I hope to become self-sufficient and not dependent on any one employer, and also to increase the reach of content for its own sake for the benefit of all, not just a single team/group/org.

> how do you go

Well that's the thing... You don't. It's a very passive approach if you are actively looking for a job.

Posting solutions to interesting challenges you come across has a lot of potential getting asked to interview for jobs that solve similar problems. A generic article about "top 5 Gen AI projects" will be fruitless, but a post about how you practically "abused ramfs to make database tests 5x faster" might be.
