Not sure if off-topic, but what’s the best way to go about finding coding gigs at the moment? Need some urgent funds so need to reach out to people somehow.

I think of linkedin as a facebook for businesses leading you open to being spammed by agencies, which I don’t really want.

Though I have years of experience of coding across many languages and fields (audio, computer vision, e-commerce backends, etc), and github accounts over the years with some pushes to the core of a few major projects, I haven’t really kept the accounts, and past projects have nearly always been back-ends for clients so can’t exactly add them to a portfolio.

Languages I’m currently using would be python / php (including symfony and laravel), though happy to switch to javascript/html coding, some c/c++ etc, so I’m not tied to one area I guess.

Is there a decent place to advertise or, is there a better way lately? Thanks

    Indeed and LinkedIn is also where I’m mostly looking. I do find posts for which I’m well suited and phone screenings that suggest I’m a strong candidate; but somehow that never seems to translate to interviews 😩. It’s a far cry from the last time I was in the market some 7 years ago when I could get multiple offers within a month or two of search.

    I agree, it’s not looking good for tech
