Sir Matthew, Black Knight

I am once again asking for assistance getting referrals so I can get a job as a Senior Software Engineer after being laid off early this year. Trying to get into a company with a referral isn't even a guarantee I'll get more than a boilerplate denial. And trying to apply without a referral is a lottery at best.

Looking for full remote positions or in San Diego.

@ent have you considered contracting or going for a contract-to-hire job?

@ent During my peak I was applying for fifteen to twenty five mid and senior opportunities (global erp project manager) DBA, systems engineer a day with thirty years experience. After a while momentum builts up. There will be busy weeks and slow weeks with responses. I see the technical segment a tight market right now. Hang in there.

@ent I work for Multi-Color and our IT team is largely remote. Let me know if anything is a fit.

@ent yeah this is a rough year. I suggest either pick a new tech and go full hacker, or find a startup with potential that needs your skills and work for free. You will look a lot better coming out of this.

@ent contact a recruiting company. I got my last 4 jobs that way without any problems

@Nimbius666 @teto
If I had to be in the office on a regular basis, that would unfortunately be a dealbreaker. My wife has zero location flexibility for her job and commuting to the LA area would be horrendous.

@ent @teto eh, BAE in San Diego is hiring a senior software Dev.

@ent I know TEKsystems are always hiring and there is a lot of Remote position. Also Pearson is hiring for remote position too.

@Arohkz
TEKsystems is more a recruiting agency than anything in my experience. I think I got in contact with one of their recruiters in the area, come to think of it, but that's unfortunately manifested nothing.

@Arohkz
Checked Pearson and they don't have anything US based for software positions, unfortunately. On top of that, they pay extremely low, so wouldn't be worthwhile. For a senior title software engineering position, the top of their pay range is 30+% lower than I was making before the layoff with a lower seniority title and in a lower paying company for the area.

@ent What's some of the stuff that you've worked on as a SWE in the past? (in general field levels -- things like microcontrollers, networking, databases, virtualization, etc)

@mage
Full stack, most recently worked on the linked product. Was built using a web stack, components written with TypeScript on the frontend, and C#/.NET on the backend using an event and domain driven architecture. Enjoyed working with Scala during a past job, though that's not as commonly used. Since the layoff got my CISSP as something else to add to the CV/demonstrate I understand InfoSec and how to balance that with business needs.
