They started removing too many posts/banning too many ppl.

There's a "what're ppl using instead?" post every few months. I think Blind was the consensus, but I never looked into it.

M1, I think it’s worth reading some of the tech discussions on blind, occasionally you will find interesting points of view. But beware that the typical person posting on blind is a software engineer, and they tend to be very polarized about certain topics.

This place was an insane asylum back during the covid era. The amount of nonsense being spewed turned off a large % of users.

I really only check FB when something moves the needle at my company and want to see the reactions.

Gen Z ruined it lol jk I think it was also the poor job market. Before you could just message anyone here and get referrals or even get some feedback on companies and jobs, but I think a lot of people don’t like their jobs, can’t find one, or too busy and frustrated with the idea of even networking here anymore.

Facts. It might pick back up again but by then, there will probably be some other new app. I hear a lot of people are against using LinkedIn now too but I’ve always found all 3 of my jobs on LinkedIn without ever cold applying so idk, I guess it’s just preference.

Anyone else in lit lateral early on in their careers?

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

For next 5 years I worked mostly on application development and broadening my exposure. I am not getting even a single call from such companies now.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?

Getting worried about hours. Last year I was really low (first year associate), I’ve had really good reviews so far and no negative feedback. This month was slow too (about 95), and I really don’t understand why I can’t get work? I’ve asked different partners, including the heads of my groups, but it hasn’t really materialized anything. Should I consider lateraling?
