Sorry if I come across as stupid but where do you usually look? I’m only in my first role but I’m thinking to start trying to attract offers from elsewhere. UK

I enforce self-discipline on this by putting regular touchpoints in my GTD app. I try to get coffee with or talk on the phone to former coworkers once every 4-6 months, depending on how well I know them.
- p1esk 7y agoAt first it was all through friends or connections. Then I found a job as the first engineer in a two person startup, posted on Craigslist (that was back in 2009). Eight years later that startup was sold for half a billion dollars. Today I would go directly to websites of companies I’m interested in, then find someone on LinkedIn who works there. But - first you better make sure you’re someone they would want to hire! Casually mentioning some cool project you put on Github, relevant to what they are doing, helps a lot in my experience.
- symplee 7y agoHow reproducible is this? There are only so many companies that can make it to that level of success, and only so many pigeons to fill those holes.
