2026 question: what actually gets a developer noticed
1- portfolio,
2- GitHub,
3- a good cover note, or
4- knowing someone inside?

I'm job-hunting and keen to hear what's really working.

About Me:
Full Stack Developer: React, Next.js, Node.js, WordPress/ACF.
I also handle the technical/AI SEO (Core Web Vitals, schema, AEO/GEO), so it's two hires in one.
open to remote or onsite.

Recruiters: what moves you from 'pass' to 'interview'? Hiring for this? Let's connect.

How is Ambit project in FIS for .Net developer ?

YOE - 7 year

Would it be a good learning project or not ?

I left practice 12 years ago. I became the Director of International Programs at a law school, which was great for a while. But, the bureaucracy eventually got to me. While there, I started a podcast called The Lawyer’s Escape Pod, interviewing lawyers who’d switched careers. And that put me on my new path. I now coach lawyers who want to ditch the traditional work world and start creative or coaching businesses. Never been happier.

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.
