I’m looking at finding my next software engineering position. I’m based in U.K. but don’t want to be restricted to just U.K. companies so I’m looking for remote positions too. There seems to be a ton of job sites out there now, does any one have any recommendations for which ones are worth the time signing up for?

#2I let recruiters do the work.
The insight is that I make their job easier by having the right resources and presentation in place.

#4Google Jobs has a pretty good search interface. It seems to get a lot of the postings, but not stuff from smaller/non-job-board sites like this. I think the who's hiring thread has links to searchable postings from this site. Unfortunately, they aren't very useful for me since most of the postings are for seniors.

huh. amazing I got voted into oblivion. But thanks for the question!
all the standard linkedin best practices to start.
load up your profile with all the buzzwords. Your CV is nothing but keyword stuffing into a search ending.
Write the title/headline for the job you want, no the one you have.
profile and summary should include ANYTHING you have done that supports the story claimed in the headline above.
side projects.
github repos
student projects
that flask app to help mom track birthdays
anything that has a story.
then pay the money (yes, $50 / month is a sacrifice but worth the pain) and that give you the ability to scale your reach and hitup all the recruiters.
get them on a call (the good ones will give you 15-20 minutes) and have the conversation.
Ask them about the market. Salaries, positions they are seeing.
They want to meet you as much as you want to meet them.
