    1.6 million jobs fed through an LLM API… how long did that take and what did it cost? Assume 4o-mini was sufficient for the task?

      I'm more curious about how he made the list of companies

Looks nice but here's some feedback on what is not nice: - breaks the back button pretty badly - when I filter jobs it says seven results but really there are only two

this is actually very nice. also a nice change from every other job site i've seen. i'm not a front end person but it just has a different feel/look. will keep it saved for future use. I've probably used/gone through over 25 different hiring sites the past few months and most were awful to use or had some glaring flaw. I liked X jobs, but their filtering options are terrible. LinkedIn use to be quite nice, but now it's completed bloated with promoted jobs that you can't find a real job posting until page 5 or 6 (I never hear back from promoted positions, and often they're posted months prior so probably huge backlog).

Unfortunately, this won’t solve most of the problem with looking for a job - especially for remote jobs. If you are applying blindly to an ATS, you have already lost. Every remote job literally gets hundreds of applications and if your skill is generic - ie “full stack developer” or even “I can do leetCode and got into BigTech” - it’s hard to stand out from the crowd.

  So would the better approach be to target points of contact on LinkedIn and reach out?

    That by itself doesn’t solve the problem. If you reach out to me blindly and your skill set doesn’t stand out from every other candidate, if I reply at all, I’m just going to redirect you to HR unless I already know you. I don’t care if you said you were on the Amazon EC2 service team. I do care if you led a major feature on the EC2 service team and you can point to an YouTube video or a public blog post on AWS’s website explaining the feature. I was looking for a job in both 2023 and last year. Both times my plan B was ordinary C#, Node or Python enterprise CRUD jobs where the company wanted AWS experience. I had 12 years of development experience on my resume (I’ve worked a lot longer) and 6 years of AWS experience including 3.5 working at AWS’s consulting department (Professional Services). I blindly submitted my resume to ATS’s far and wide including LinkedIn. Probably around 100 resumes. I heard crickets. I never usually do this. But I didn’t have a job so why not? On the other hand in three weeks… I reached out to my network and that led to 2 full time offers and 1 short term contract. I did a targeted outreach to two companies that had a “nice to have” experience implementing a popular open source official “AWS Solution” in its niche. Not only did I have experience with it, I was the third highest contributor at the time. This led to two interviews and one offer. I accepted an offer within three weeks. Last year when I was looking, it was about the same. But this time, I responded to an internal recruiter that reached out to me from the company I work for now. I got an offer again within three weeks.
