Not sure if off-topic, but what’s the best way to go about finding coding gigs at the moment? Need some urgent funds so need to reach out to people somehow.
I think of linkedin as a facebook for businesses leading you open to being spammed by agencies, which I don’t really want.
Though I have years of experience of coding across many languages and fields (audio, computer vision, e-commerce backends, etc), and github accounts over the years with some pushes to the core of a few major projects, I haven’t really kept the accounts, and past projects have nearly always been back-ends for clients so can’t exactly add them to a portfolio.
Languages I’m currently using would be python / php (including symfony and laravel), though happy to switch to javascript/html coding, some c/c++ etc, so I’m not tied to one area I guess.
Is there a decent place to advertise or, is there a better way lately? Thanks
If you figure out the answer let me know. 10+ years of experience and haven’t been able to find a job in the last 2 years.
Mainly looking for:
The only thing I’m seeing in abundance is C#/dot net. And everything advertised with PHP smells like WordPress.
Funny, I’m in a similar but reversed situation. 10+ years of experience, no job for two years, but my stack is C# and .Net and I keep seeing an abundance of ads looking for Node and React 🤔
I see a lot of posts for typescript, but every job also says 100+ applicants. Job market is not looking good
Plus all these places want people to go into the office just-because
Most of them are spam or people testing their luck even though they’re underqualified since applying to jobs is usually just a click nowadays. Don’t worry too much about it.
