Connect with a recruiter (or five) and tell them that's what you want. They exist to act as a filter, and if you work with several from multiple companies/geographies in addition to doing your own searching, you'll eventually find what you're looking for.
- cholantesh 4y agoIn my experience, recruiters basically keep your name and skillset on record and don't take into account any of your other wants/needs.
- bluefirebrand 4y agoI'm honestly surprised how many don't even seem to take your skillset into consideration. You don't have to know much about programming languages to know that if none of the words on my resume match the ones in the job listing, it's probably not a good match. Maybe I need to be more clear that while I'm willing to learn new tech for a job, I probably don't want jobs where I have to learn an entire new stack just to get started.
- pc86 4y agoYou've worked with shitty recruiters, which is to be expected because most of them are. Some of them are great and they're the ones worth keeping in touch with.
- mriet 4y agoAgreed -- and, even worse, in my experience they don't even know about more than 20% of the opportunities.
- 5350-uiop-1130 4y agoconnecting with recruiters is a meme. they're basically glorified salespeople. they would only reply to you if they thought there was quick money to be made.
