Currently I&rsquo;m in the process of updating my resume and such.What is your goto site for jobs?And if you don&rsquo;t use a job board / site, what methods do you use to find employers?

HN is the best so far. Respectful responses, smart people. Most have been very chill and rational too.
LinkedIn is second. The quantity is there, but you have to filter for quality.
Recruiters for more efficient acquisition, but the end conversion rate is lower. You spend less time filtering companies and writing cover letters, but people generally don't like to pay recruiter fees given the option.
Facebook has the highest success rate, though. I'd say I got about 90% of work through there, which included my first job, a few jobs as a manager, and current job at a unicorn.
Job sites are generally harsh and unforgiving, where people will reject you literally for a typo on your resume or because they didn't like the formatting.
