I've found that a lot of the tools that I've used to find jobs in the past appear to have fallen apart. LinkedIn and Indeed's job boards are filled with much more spam and seem to have much less reliable search tools. LinkedIn has restricted the ability to browse who works for a company so I'm having trouble finding recruiters to contact directly. AngelList no longer appears to be a way for job seekers to connect wit…

Every job search engine sucks. Literally all of them. It's not the functionality, it's moderation. Check out Otta, which claims to manually review each company, but you can find all of their postings on LinkedIn, along with more. What I've ended up doing is using a Google search for specific sites (eg Breezy, Workable) that matches the titles I am looking for.

I've been a software dev for almost three decades and manager the last few years of it. I've been looking for work for over 6 months. Granted, I'm trying to move back to SWE work but have been somewhat opeN to EM work. Finding work is harder than 2008 and even harder than 2001. It's as bad as tech has ever seen. For EMs, middle management is always the first to get culled. That was me. And there are about 10% or less…

> No one has said it but my management years away from daily coding likely count against me I bet they do, but when you get engaged again in SWE, I bet it haunts you still. I am thankfully employed and hoping to stay that way and ride out my final career years in my current org. Similarly I have been in tech nearing four decades but over the last 10 years made a conscious effort to exit technology management (was tir…

Exactly. For me, the emotional labor, the responsibility I felt to my directs, one of my strongest areas, was also eating me alive from the inside out.

I want to be responsible for services and code and mentoring people and not peoples' employment status.
