Ask HN: Fallback remote job options for an experienced developer in the U.S.?
15 by anon50118810 | 16 comments on Hacker News.
I'm an unemployed mid/senior-level developer in the U.S. with a reasonably popular skill set struggling to find remote work. I'd like to keep this general enough to apply to more than just me, but if anyone is curious there's a little more context at https://ift.tt/D93hWBm. I'm starting this discussion to generate ideas for fallback options for finding development work, meaning places that hire quickly but might be low prestige, low pay, boring, contract, stuff like that. Recruiters might seem to be an answer but I haven't had much luck there: very little inbound traffic or response to outbound applications. I might just not be using them correctly, so any advice on working with recruiters might be helpful. Thanks in advance on behalf of everyone struggling to find work that might find this sort of advice useful.
