I’m trying to be a bit more intentional with my job search this time around instead of just applying to everything. Thought maybe I could ask this here. Do you usually go for the big names first, or do you start with smaller companies where you might have a better shot at a real person seeing your application?

Look up “Never Search Alone”

It kinda flips the whole job search process on its head. A lot of the concepts talk about how you fit into the market, and then identifying the companies that are likely to hire that candidate.

It depends what you're going for really! There are benefits to big names and small companies. If you just want some experience under your belt then maybe go to the small companies and build up your skills.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank!

Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?
