Postmodernity means the exhilarating freedom to pursue anything, yet mind-boggling uncertainty as to what is worth pursuing and in the name of what one should pursue it.

Not contrarian at all! it's good to hear someones having luck - I'm also in the NYC area, been using https://www.builtinnyc.com poking around in my network, going directly to employers websites... not much luck. If you can share some of the resources you've utilizes (recruiters, smaller job boards, etc) and help out a local goon my family and I would appreciate it!

Otta has been good to me for higher % of callbacks and interviews, but recruiters for stuff that goes to the end of the hiring cycle.

I have a friend, also in NYC tech, who is a LinkedIn referral machine who has been helping get people looped in to recruiters, but mostly for junior roles.

DM me if you have a solid LinkedIn presentation of your experience and want a connection.

Company got bought, been there 10 years and wow the job market has changed for the worse in nearly every way. Any tips for a 40-something IT manager? i'm a bit baffled as to where to go from here as Linkedin is a cesspool and Indeed doesn't understand the words you put in search

For a while now it feels like LinkedIn is just social media to angle for recruiter attention, and Indeed has always been scams/fake jobs. Google Jobs searches provides better results than Indeed. Like, seriously, Indeed is the PlentyOfFish of job sites.

My 16-month+ search (while employed in a toxic shithole) is over for now, all thanks to LinkedIn DMs from recruiters and settling for not finding a pre-2020 title or comfortable salary.

imo Glassdoor is slightly better than Indeed despite effectively being Indeed :confused:, running scripts to crawl for Workday postings has helped some of my friends, and Otta gave me a better % of application responses and a better filter for low salary roles in industries that I won't touch.
