Yes, the job i got now. Surprisingly it was the only job that paid what I was making at my previous job. But the work culture is so different.
Years ago I found a job by just applying as a complete unknown. It's true that having a referral helps, and networking helps a lot. But not everyone comes in with that boost and it's always worth applying if you think you're qualified for a position.
Yes, that is how I landed my current job in 2019.
Earlier in my career, yes, and probably only because the companies I worked for looked good on paper.
Yes, I have in the past but lately my roles have come from LinkedIn where I was passively looking and the role/offer made enough sense to jump.
