I got my current job by posting on a "Who wants to be hired" thread in 2019.
To be fair, though, I was only contacted by that one company (and like 2-3 spam emails) so I wouldn't really count on HN as my main strategy.
On the other hand, I'm Mexican and HN is very Silicon Valley centric, so maybe people from the Bay Area get more replies?
Did you get hired by a Mexican company?
I'm asking because salaries here in Mexico are not exactly something to get super excited about compared those from some other places.
As a non-mexican living in Mexico, I don't bother applying for jobs here. With 20+ years of experience in development I just can't justify even spending time looking for them knowing the salary ranges.
