Which job sites are you using to look for new jobs?

Hey, I personally recommend smaller platforms, I'm not a native English speaker, so the platforms I use will probably be useless to you, but I can distinguish a few key points: Keep it small, companies that go niche platforms probably aren't looking for 1000 applicants. Look for human written posts, that actually tell you something about them, instead of classic "we provide complex solutions for big companies, that provide services to other big companies". Look for direct contacts, like a phone number or an email address, so you can engage in a real human interaction sooner and speak for yourself, instead of letting people judge you based on a resume, that might have some minor flaws.

Check the communities, like reddit, telegram/whatsapp groups, HN, etc. Again, direct communication can do wonders.

Check companies websites, most tech companies have a dedicated Careers page with all the open positions and requirements, write them a personal email and wait for the response. This can give an extra karma point, because you didn't find them on some hiring website while looking for a job, you've found this position on their website, so it already tells them something about you wanting to work there.

If you are interested in startups, you can check some Y Combinator reports/news, or look at some producthunt posts, it's a riskier bet, but if you are into that kind of a thing, can be a great path.

Hope this can be helpful, best of luck with your searches!

I pretty much hate all of them due to the low quality and puffery filled content on them. LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Blind seem to be better than others, but not by much. HN who is hiring seems to have less BS, but there are a lower number of listings and almost no options in my geographic area. Not to mention it seems HN posting are geared to higher performers (I'm a low performer).

I run a daily mailing list that emails the latest remote engineering roles found that day (nothing outdated or older than 24 hrs) https://bloomberry.com/remote-jobs/

You can choose specific roles too such as: backend, leadership, frontend

For in-person roles in larger cities, there is usually one or more tech community Slack groups with a job channel. It's a good format because often the roles are posted by a member of the community, so you can check their message history or DM them for questions.

My current job started as a job at a consulting company, which I got via a recruiter reaching out on Linkedin.

Hacker News who is hiring threads work as well - posting your resume or reaching out to job listings.

I have got interesting interviews at startups via https://wellfound.com/jobs .

I had a lot of success on Dice about 6 months ago.

I still prefer connecting with recruiters on Linkedin. I've heard fishbowl is pretty good too...!

Blind has a job portal,you could give that a shot

If you are in the U.S., I generally pitch USAjobs. The government seems to be leaning into in sourcing tech talent and and I've seen an uptick in the 2210 series being posted. If you are willing to work for a government agency, check them out. If you look at the CR that was just passed, look for agencies that were funded for 2024. If the agency was funded, odds are jobs will be opening up soon. Also, some agencies are willing to do 100 percent telework or remote positions to get in top talent for IT. Granted if you aren't a veteran it can be tough to certify for those kinds of jobs, but no harm in throwing your hat in the ring. I'm not a pro at gov employment, but if you want some details on the right kinds of positions, grades and series that would fit I'd be happy to give some info. The misinformation is strong out there, every little bit helps. Good luck!!

Honestly, I've never had luck with any job site. I get my jobs by locating and directly applying at companies that I'm interested in working for (whether or not they have any open positions listed) and through a trusted recruiter.
