I don't think you have to know someone. Moreover, if all you're looking for is a straight up dev role (vs quant research or trading), I don't think it'll be that hard. Not sure if you'll pull in 400 or 500k, but if you're good, you should do pretty well for yourself. Just apply for roles, if you're a good dev, I don't think you should have trouble landing interviews.
