How do I get a job outside the Bay Area? I've been trying to find a job since March, unemployed since August. Some people have suggested that moving to a tech hub is essential to get a job.
- astura 8y agoI've never lived in a tech hub and I've always been able to find a job. The first job was very, very difficult, but since then it's been fine. I just look for publicly posted job openings. I've solely worked in B2B companies. However, sometimes it takes a while. Especially now that I'm really picky with jobs. However, if you live out in the boonies where the only employer is Walmart you'll definitely need to move or get a remote gig.
- paulie_a 8y agoIf you have the means, relocate. Chicago has a lot of jobs, same with the Milwaukee area. While the COL can vary, it will definitely be better than the bay area. The other factor, leave your location off your resume. Sure it will show you worked at companies in a specific area. Just don't include an actual home address. And then have a "go bag" ready.
- jinushaun 8y agoWhere do you live? There is tech demand everywhere. You don't have to live in SF, NY, Seattle or DC to get tech jobs. But these are probably going to be standard office jobs at non-tech companies doing boring work. Pay is lower, but so is cost of living.
