Not sure if off-topic, but what’s the best way to go about finding coding gigs at the moment? Need some urgent funds so need to reach out to people somehow.
I think of linkedin as a facebook for businesses leading you open to being spammed by agencies, which I don’t really want.
Though I have years of experience of coding across many languages and fields (audio, computer vision, e-commerce backends, etc), and github accounts over the years with some pushes to the core of a few major projects, I haven’t really kept the accounts, and past projects have nearly always been back-ends for clients so can’t exactly add them to a portfolio.
Languages I’m currently using would be python / php (including symfony and laravel), though happy to switch to javascript/html coding, some c/c++ etc, so I’m not tied to one area I guess.
Is there a decent place to advertise or, is there a better way lately? Thanks
Hard to not worry about it when after 2 years of applying to 2-4 every other day you get no responses. Like surely you’d think a resume with 10 years of experience would at least warrant a phone screen. I have several theories but I’m probably just another “armchair expert”
Man, it’s so frustrating being in that boat and also seeing people complain about hiring frauds who don’t know how to code etc etc
like there’s so many qualified coders on the market right now, just call me back lol
