Good luck in your search bro, is not easy to be in that position, don't let your guard down
- jakabia 3y agoOn LinkedIn, whom should we contact? I'm genuinely curious because I'm looking for a new job as well. Sometimes there are contact in the job description, but sometimes not, in that case whom should I hit up?
- kirkarg 3y agoThe safe choice is to go directly to recruiters and contact them trough LinkedIn directly.
- tombert 3y agoIt's definitely not been an easy year for me. I know things will be alright eventually, but sometimes it's easy to forget that fact. I'm not claiming I am some hyper-honest-hyper-ethical person, but I absolutely despise the level of dishonesty you're expected to perform when looking for a job. I don't think I'm built to bullshit people every day, and it depresses me a lot. When I have to give some bullshit reason for "why did you apply for this job?" other than "I need money", it's exhausting. I just want to sit on my ass and write code, not spend so much time building my own personal brand.
- kirkarg 3y agoI understand, but consider most recruiters as individuals who may not fully grasp the company's actual needs. Their primary aim is to find a reason to hire you, and as long as you perform well, they get paid. Another important aspect is building connections with people who share your mindset. This can be immensely helpful when seeking a job that aligns more closely with your values. There is not a secret to this, keep on searching and don't loose your ethics values, some people will find that more valuable than your knowledge
