How do you go about finding a job at an amazing company with fulfilling jobs?
- skrebbel 3y agoFor starters, HN has a monthly "Who's hiring?" thread with a lot of cool companies posting. Personally I find a lot more of the posts there to make me go "hey that sounds like a cool place to work" than eg a search on job sites or Stack Overflow career ads. In a broad sense I mean, eg there's tiny startups, healthy profitable SMBs, and VC-fueled unicorn rocket ships posting there, but they all seem above-average cool for their category to me. As an employer, I find that the inverse holds too - applicants that find us via the "Who's hiring?" thread are much more often a potential fit than those who find us via other routes.
- layer8 3y agoLook for owner-managed companies without middle management, or where middle management consists of engineers and not MBAs. Look for small(ish) companies that work on topics you find interesting. Connect with people who are looking for the same. You might not find the fulfilling job in a sane company on the first try, but if you keep looking and talking to people, you’re likely to find one.
