Not sure if off-topic, but what’s the best way to go about finding coding gigs at the moment? Need some urgent funds so need to reach out to people somehow.

I think of linkedin as a facebook for businesses leading you open to being spammed by agencies, which I don’t really want.

Though I have years of experience of coding across many languages and fields (audio, computer vision, e-commerce backends, etc), and github accounts over the years with some pushes to the core of a few major projects, I haven’t really kept the accounts, and past projects have nearly always been back-ends for clients so can’t exactly add them to a portfolio.

Languages I’m currently using would be python / php (including symfony and laravel), though happy to switch to javascript/html coding, some c/c++ etc, so I’m not tied to one area I guess.

Is there a decent place to advertise or, is there a better way lately? Thanks

    If you figure out the answer let me know. 10+ years of experience and haven’t been able to find a job in the last 2 years.

    Mainly looking for:

    • Nodejs/Nestjs
    • Typescript/JavaScript
    • React/React-Native
    • Rust

    The only thing I’m seeing in abundance is C#/dot net. And everything advertised with PHP smells like WordPress.

      Funny, I’m in a similar but reversed situation. 10+ years of experience, no job for two years, but my stack is C# and .Net and I keep seeing an abundance of ads looking for Node and React 🤔

      I see a lot of posts for typescript, but every job also says 100+ applicants. Job market is not looking good

      Plus all these places want people to go into the office just-because
