Got a thing where I'd have to relocate for rto nonsense at my current job in a couple months (85k for frontend software dev at a big consulting place) and I've got a couple years of experience from this job now so I'm evaluating my options.
How fricked is the market? I saw a lot of doom and gloom on /g/ and reddit when I was poking around but I haven't heard back yet from any of the apps I sent out last week to start getting my own read on things except the expected "frick off r-slur" responses from STRAGMAN .
How important are stats and numbers about my work in the resume? I see it emphasized on the SEO optimized spam resume advice sites. Not sure how seriously I should take this.
How important are side projects? They were half my resume coming out of college because I had frick all for experience but I don't have anything I'd feel comfortable showing off to someone right now.

Unrelated, but why is Netflix always included in this list of βupper echelonβ software companies, especially since there are like 10 other movie/tv streaming services now. Like, compare them to Amazon that now does that on top of online shopping, AWS, music streaming, etc.

They're a large tech company that prizes innovation with high standards for hiring, and a loose org structure as I understand it as well as the only one of those streaming places actually turning a profit I'm pretty sure. Not sure beyond that. The STRAGMAN acronym stuck with me so it's what I use online.

What should I learn to branch into that other than sql stuff? The longer I work in the front end hellscape the more I hate it and everyone responsible for it.

I'm not a codecel but I'm adjacent to the tech industry. Are you looking for remote-only jobs? If so you'll be more fricked than a hybrid or in person role.
Pimp your linkedin and then the recruiters will come to you.

No, I'm looking for another right now because 85k post all the inflation the last few years is chickenfeed. Wouldn't actually mind in person. I miss talking to people face to face instead of getting ghosted when I need info or a PR approval to close a jira.
Any tips for Linkedin pimping? I filled it out but don't really use it much beyond the job searching function. Not sure I have time to wait for them to come to me either, pretty sure they will just cut me if I don't show up in person in a couple months barring whatever excuses I throw in.

You can try looking up people in HR roles for companies you're interested in and sliding into their DMs. Possibly even CEO/CTOs for smaller startups

Bahahhaha. This is totally individualized. First of all. And people don't change, second of all. You should never ever ever get online and preach again. You don't understand reality at all.
