  • At this point you basically just have to know someone, especially for tech jobs.

    I just got an offer for a job after 7 months of searching. Was it from one of the hundreds of applications I submitted online?

    Nope, it was because I took a grunt work job at the company my wife works at, and her boss put in a good word for me. I’m over qualified for the position with a decade of applicable experience, but I doubt I would have gotten it if I didn’t know people. And I still took a 50% pay cut (although I know I was grossly overpaid at my last position because federal contractor money)
