I want a new job. I'd had the same IoT embedded systems job since I graduated college four years ago and I haven't been very stimulated/happy for the last ~two years. My intuition tells me it's not going to get much better. Besides that, I have a feeling it's time for a change. The pay is pretty good for the area though. I've done a handful of interviews scattered over the last two years without any offers. I figured it's a typical experience but it bums me out more than a little. Remote work would be awesome since I don't exactly live within a reasonable commute of silicon valley. It's kind of hard to find that in embedded/Linux/C-land though. Where are people searching for jobs nowadays? I've been hitting up indeed a few times a week, is that still a solid place to look? I've actually only had luck getting interviews with personal referrals. Online applications just disappear into a void. I've got (what I think is) a solid resume that I tailor to each posting and take the time to write a cover letter that follows the gist of the application. Thanks for any help!

Is there an exact way to determine total compensation? I mean beyond salary and stock. Are people guessing the value of health insurance and perquisites?

My 2018 computer job goals are: * Quit my current job. * Work on my project car. Work on some electronics and programming projects. Enjoy life. * Pay the bills with programming contract work when not working isn't fun anymore. Maybe even get an interesting non-computer part-time job. * Do a foreign language immersion program around June. * Study interview questions and find a good new computer job after I get back around August. Hopefully the programming job market doesn't collapse while I'm out of it

Cirofren posted:We do this a lot. Getting a full time employee involves coordination with HR and the CFO, separate candidate interviews with HR and the CFO, a series of tests, and a pre-employment medical. It can take months. If I need hands on keyboards in anything less than 8 weeks it'll be a contractor and if they're good it's always easier to onboard when they're already in the building. What software area requires a medical examination???
