So where do you look for work in 2025. I have been employed for 19 years and have not looked externally in a long time

I've got a bunch of alerts turned on on different websites, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc. But I also have companies I'm interested in where I keep tabs on their job openings. I think the big thing is figuring out where you can get a referral. Every time I'm interested in a role I look up the company on LinkedIn to see if I have any connections that work there. I'll reach out to anyone (even a 3rd connection) to try and chat/see if I can get a referral

My position is at risk. I have to find a new one by 4/1 or I’ll be let go. Today, for the first time in a long time, I started looking externally. I’ll let you know how it goes.

You are in my boat welcome.

I was thinking of doing the same you did on LinkedIn once I make that announcement of no longer working as ….. and thanking all my colleagues, how fantastic the 19 year journey was blah blah. I think if I put up the looking for work now it might help my chances of not getting hired internally

I definitely think announcing your openness to work on LinkedIn is a good idea. But I wouldn't stop there. I would message, email, and even text/call former colleagues and just ask anyone you know about job openings.

What city are you in?

LinkedIn / Indeed / Wellfound / WelcomeToTheJungle (formerly Otta) work all across the US.

In some of the major tech cities, there are sites like BuiltIn(city name) which can be great for hybrid and onsite roles.

There’s also a ton of sites focused on sourcing remote work. Perhaps someone can chime in on what sites work best for that.

I found my last role on LinkedIn

Looks like BuiltInVancouver.com is a thing. There might be other Canadian-specific or BC-specific sites that might have jobs that have less competition than the big sites

Man the world seemed like it was going to shit at this time two years ago, but how innocent and care free does spring of 2020 feel now? I think we were still in “14 days to flatten the curve” at this point. Most of us hadn’t touched our summer plans yet.

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
