I'm curious, what is your definition for this, in more detail?
In the past, I've very much enjoyed some places I've worked (like semiconductors) while others found the place intolerable, chasing the latest wiz-bang frameworks used by fleeting, "disruptive" startups.
I've been consulting for the past few years. I love the variability and also the reward from helping others accomplish their goals. I absolutely love the people for whom I work currently. We are hiring, simply because we do good work and have more opportunities than bandwidth. We work at a high level and solve very interesting problems for clients.
So to answer your question,
> Where do you find the interesting jobs?
They found me. I'm not sure how they do it, but they have a knack for finding very talented people.
- uVacCXNiiJCTnYB 4y agoI've been thinking I should get into consulting for a long time, as I tend to like fixing higher level problems when I arrive at a company. But that seems impossible to break into without already having a network to draw from.
- jason-phillips 4y agoPersonally, I don't really have a network. Or I don't use it in that way. I do have a whole lot of valuable experience, as well as failure-is-not-an-option and customer-focused mindsets. That seems to work well in this environment.
