How do you find these positions?

There are around 3 million software developers in the US, most working for regular old enterprise companies in most major metropolitan areas in the US. All of the job boards have openings for those positions.

I spent my entire career from 1996-2020 working locally in Atlanta - 7 jobs in all - until my last three jobs that have been remote.

  • Which job boards? Monster is out of business and Indeed is so flooded with garbage that it is mostly useless.

I would also like to know

I've never worked in Silicon Valley but every company I've worked for is infected with Silicon Valley brainrot

  • Look for large companies dealing in physical goods. I work on warehouse software for a company selling motorcycle helmets and bbqs. Its a great intersection of tech and industry.

    • That's pretty cool. I would expect most of that sort of company to be buying off the shelf products these days but I guess some still roll their own

      Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate that you took the time to do that. Very kind of you
