I've never met a startup that wasn't desperate to hire :) That being said, many startups ignore inbound applications, because the signal to noise ratio is so bad.
If you want to work at a startup, I'd recommend a few of the following:
1/ Apply for A-List, Hired.com or Triplebyte
2/ Look at Who's Hiring posts on HN
3/ Update your LinkedIn and AngelList to seem hire-able (but not TOO hire-able!) Use a real pic of yourself, have a personal website with a resume, and fill out info about jobs you've had. (Related: put your name/info in your HN profile!)
4/ Have friends at startups? Talk to them! Everyone at a startup knows someone who is hiring.
- strikelaserclaw 8y agoawesome points, in your experience does having experience in big corp tech (am a .NET dev) hamper your success in getting hired at a startup? I really do enjoy the .NET world and invested many hours in it, i would hate that to be a crutch.
- gkoberger 8y agoGood and bad news! The bad news is there's way fewer .NET startups out there (most are Ruby/Node/Python). But the good news is that you'll have a lot less competition for jobs!
