Job hunting in 2024 has become increasingly frustrating, especially with ghost jobs and being ghosted by companies. In this video, I break down why your applications might be ignored, how to spot ghost jobs that don't actually exist, and what you can do to avoid wasting your time. I also share strategies for improving your job search by identifying red flags in job postings and reaching out to hiring managers for more insight. If you're tired of the endless job search, this video is for you.

I've been a software engineer since 2008 and with over a decade of experience, the industry is as crazy and as varied as ever.

I continually get asked for career advice and how to navigate writing code for a living and I wanted to share everything I've learned in hopes that I can help someone who is just starting in software engineering, who has been in it for a while and is too afraid to ask, or the seasoned vet to either agree or argue with me.

The intent of this channel is to have multiple series that include the following topics:
💰 Compensation
📈 Negotiations
📚 Career advice and guidance
📈 Stocks, RSUs, Stock options, and ESPP plans
👨‍🏫 Engineering interviews

I've done just about everything in software from working for 3 person start ups, 300 person start ups, silicon valley companies, Fortune 500 companies, small teams, big teams, W2 employment and 1099 contracting, full time contracting and moonlight part time work, independent development, launching my own web apps and iphone app.
