I'm not a typical programmer, though. My savings are used up whenever I am unemployed, and I've probably spent 1/3 of my post-college time unemployed. I want to know how to increase my bargaining power while I'm in this situation of making ends meet.
- blakdawg 9y agoWhat if you didn’t wait until you’re unemployed to start thinking about the next opportunity? What about contributing to a community, with open source code or a tutorial or a conference presentation?
- djellybeans 9y agoRegarding your last statement- while doing these things help, the lack of doing these things isn't necessarily the cause of the problem. I know that plenty of programmers have never contributed to open source, nor written a single line of code outside of work, and they still have no problem finding or maintaining jobs.
