🔗 Short-Term Work for Seasoned Devs

Ask HN: Where Do Seasoned Devs Look for Short-Term Work?

"I did this a few years ago and the winning recipe was a shameless linkedin post where I pretty much just summarized my skillset and explained that I was looking for a senior engineer equivalent of a summer internship, with no chance of extension. Got me 3-4 offers. None of the offering companies had ads out for roles like this, so this was pretty much the only way."

Another hiring/job related topic, this one has some unconventional advice and details about what's worked for others. Really appreciate how diverse people's approaches are. These speak to my current soul-search as I'm grappling with the "wtf do I do with my career" question.

These days I'm telling myself to challenge the status quo when it comes to work. Nothing is normal anymore, why should careers adhere to advice from nearly a century ago? Remote work used to be fringe, but now that it's normalized, I'm open to finding new modalities.

The search continues.
