I'm based in the UK with ~15 years experience as a professional web developer.
I lost my job early Jan and found a new role by early Feb. It was difficult though. This was the first time I've ever experience recruiters ghosting me. I hustled like crazy to find my current role and I think I got quite lucky honestly.
Every time I see these threads I feel the need to remind people that no one's circumstances will be the same. Experience and geography are two very important factors in our industry. There are jobs out there, and if you can beat out a few other candidates you'll probably do fine. If you can't do that then you may struggle.
- candiodari 4y agoHow's the situation remuneration-wise. Did you have to sacrifice pay?
- hinata08 4y agocongrats on finding a new job ! > Experience and geography are two very important factors in our industry. yeah, I was wondering to what extent they mattered. Like to what extent you should be willing to relocate or wait for an open job in your area ? And to what extent you should apply for the same job, or switch to a totally new job. I've usually been very quick to relocate and to get a new job, even underpaid bc I didn't have experience. But after just a few years, I believe I'm already paid more than if I continued on my first job. And there is a margin for progression, as the company still sees me as a beginner. Did you have to relocated ? or to get a new job ? or you're keeping your routine in what you're already good at ?
