Happy to share that I am starting a new remote 1 yr contract. Was a tough search but for those still looking, please stay hopeful, prayerful and keep searching. Seems like when you apply, the applications just drop in a black box even though most times I have over 15 yrs of experience for the position. For this position and my last one, it was the recruiters that contacted me about the positions that weren't even posted.

Don't give up though. Make sure you have practiced that question 'Tell me about yourself' or similar version well. I practiced over and over and find some YouTube videos that can aid learning about your subject are or interviewing tips.

Thanks! For my previous contract and the current one, the recruiters found me on either Dice or LinkedIn. The ones I applied to and even messaged the recruiter were either rejected or fell into a hole. Few recruiters contacted me but only had 1 interview after over 100 applications.

A beacon of hope. So great to hear. Did you know recruiters before they reached out to you?

I had never worked with any of the 2 recruiters before and the strange thing is, for the job I just got, I applied to that company several times and never heard back, not even a rejection letter. He said after he found my resume on LinkedIn, and then checked his internal database, he saw my resume there as well. So apparently not all of them check their internal databases first.

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
