Check out the "Who's hiring?" [0] thread and consider posting in the "Who wants to be hired?" [1] and "Freelancing" [2] threads (there's one every month). I remember feeling like you do when I was young and thought I knew everything. As others have mentioned in this thread, starting your own company or building a freelance practice might be the best strategy. Quite frankly, if you're so great, you should work for yourself. If you're not, you probably (and unfortunately) need to "pay your dues" and put in two or three years as a junior developer (this is key) at an established company. I'm looking at your web site and can't easily figure out whether or not you've already done that, so that's not a good sign. You'll build skills, a network, salary and job title history, and most importantly, credibility. Also, have you considered going to university? A lot of companies in the US won't hire you if you don't have an undergraduate degree (or 10+ years of corporate experience). I see "Foundation in Applied Arts" on your web site but it's not clear what if anything that translates to. FWIW, I did the CS degree and dues-paying thing and most days wish I'd started a company instead. 0. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13541679 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13541679 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13541681 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13541681 2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13541680 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13541680
