LinkedIn damned near landed me a sweet job. They were ready to offer, but HR put their thumb on the scale for their guy. Just barely missed another this week from Indeed, think asking $60-$70K was too much for that place, and if so, fuck 'em, that was a serious lowball. Networked what little I could, don't know may people any more, and certainly not in tech.

What are your go-to places to job hunt?

Knowing a guy is the #1 way.

After that, Indeed, LinkedIn (yuck), and finding a good recruiter. Or specific company job pages, if you find a particular place you want to work.
