I like to think of it like a channel that you need to optimize at every step: 1. Applying - Reach out to a recruiter — or CTO if it's a startup — but do it only for the companies you're the most interested into as it's time consuming - Write a good application message mentioning the technologies required in the job description - Personal Branding is key: polish your Github, have a nice website — esp for front-end/full-stack devs — and update your Linkedin 2. Resume screening - Make sure to have a clean, easy to read and updated resume - Complete your skillset with high-demand skills (ex: AWS if you're back-end, React Native if you're front-end) - Ask other for reviews 3. Phone screen - Learn a bit about the company, their recent achievements - Learn how to sell yourself, have your storytelling ready - Ask questions (culture, role, product, etc) - Prepare answers for common itwer questions - Smile :) show you'd be the ideal coworker and not just a nerd who can code 4. Tech interview - Most tech itws are bullshit and not even related to the skills needed but that's how the game is made so just accept it and practice LC 5. Final itw / Offer - Learn how to negociate your salary - Remember: Equity is cool but cash is king - Congrats!
