Just slightly biased here, but workwithindies.com curates interesting roles working for smaller teams in independent games.

#263Surprisingly, Linkedin.
While around 95% of stuff in my inbox is rubbish and generic postings, there are those 5% worth my time. Interesting companies, challenging and relevant problems.
But admittedly, having only 5% non rubbish already requires you to have a proper profile, with nice information about previous work and experience.
I do make it a habit of responding politely and negatively to most, with a quick one liner, but talking to a few even if I am happy with my job, just to find out what else is there and what is happening around me.
That is how my current employer, Tulip Interfaces has found me, and I have never before worked on more relevant and challenging topics.
Have a look yourself, https://tulip.co/, we are still hiring.

#264I'm working in my IT job in Italy after a Bachelor's in Physics and a Master's in Astrophysics.
My priorities where: - don't go with the baddies (amazon, google, facebook, nestlé, military...) - remote work (work for a living, not living for work. I don't want to be a commuter 2 hours every day to work in an office while I could do the same from home) - coding/data analytics/software analytics in general. I just wante to be open minded and learn what I don't know and use what I already know
With this priorities in mind I found a good job with an average pay as a data manager for the Health minister, while working from home or traveling with my 9-18.
I believe that if you put your lifestile first and then the capabilities ego last, you can be happy after just a few of linkedin searches.
