I found my current role on IRC :-) A real company in Australia so I work remotely. Super fun place to work at, and the fact that they listened to my urging for improving a11y (which is a passion of mine) is the icing on the cake!
Jobs, I've found can come from anywhere. It's important to keep a good network of people who know you - on as many platforms as you want. The more you're "out there" and the more relationships you build is the key imo.
- gaws 4y ago> I found my current role on IRC :-) How did that happen?
- veb 4y agoI was a regular in #startups on Freenode (now on Libera.Chat) - which was always the unofficial home for HN (I think). I made friends, acquaintances and so on. When a job came up at someone's work, I was asked if I wanted to apply as I had just been made redundant because of COVID-19. I interviewed well, got the job and here I am. I've also had a few contracts over the years too, which paid well.
