Are you an unemployed developer? Here's what to do » Aj freelancer. I keep running into unemployed devs, people that can do a lot of the things I do, and almost definitely everything I currently get paid for. It’s always surprising to me in some way especially on reddit. There are devs that would work for 1/4 of what I get paid, 1/2 of what I get paid, devs that are happy with 70% of what I get paid, for almost the same work (I say “almost” because I’m not 100% sure as to what they do and how I compare to it). Same thing goes for Forrst, twitter, and other places.
It’s really common for me to run into people like that so I wanted to write a checklist of places where to find good work. Some ideas: Freelancer.com if you’re willing to work your ass off, spent 90% of your time bidding on projects, and get paid little, go here. Monster.com This is how I found my last job and will find my future job. Make a kick ass resume. Setup a CRM just for jobs. Craigslist I can’t stress this one enough. Directly Contact Companies This one is a bit more complicated.
