I am currently looking for work as a software developer. The problem is…I don’t really know how to do so. I have run a startup for most of my adult life. So while I have lots of experience writing software and shipping products, I don’t know how to get a foot in the door. I don’t know how to answer behavioral questions. I don’t know how to write a good resume.
About me:
I heard I should do 200 medium-difficulty Leetcode problems. I have completed 69 so far.
I don’t have strong preferences about what the company does. I mostly care about working with a team that has a good culture.
My degree is in physics and mathematics. I am a self-taught programmer.
I live in Seattle but might be willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
If you know how to get a job in the software industry I would love to talk to you via video call (or I can buy you lunch if you live in Seattle). I respond to both Less Wrong private messages and to email. Just send me the date and time that works best for you (along with your timezone).
PS: Thank you everyone who replied to my previous Want to Hire Me? post. You helped me figure out that what I really want right now is a regular job.
