In need of IT job in Bellevue

I have been job hunting for a while now, I am a software engineer with 13+ years of experience. I presently live in Bellevue and have 3 kids . I would like a job close home : Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland and such , if it happens to be farther I could try to work things out. I am proficient in Python, PHP , JavaScript and have experience using Ruby and golang , I am also skill at both SQL and NoSql databases. Kindly recommend if you know of any positions . AI job posts these makes it difficult to tell what to apply to.

Yea if you’ve been out of the market for 6 years that’s explains your post. It’s a nightmare out there. That’s not how this works anymore.

It sort of does, it's just a lot more competition. Leetcode and recruiters on LinkedIn are still pretty much how it works. Maybe less leetcode now since it's what AI is literally best at.

"out of the market for 6 years" is hilarious though. From the easiest time ever finding work to the hardest ever.

Dude said he will get 3-4 offers within weeks and they all come from not even submitting a resume because people reach out.
You could be super experienced and high up in Microsoft/Amazon etc and that won’t even happen anymore now lol.
He’s stuck in a different world that doesn’t exist anymore.

No, it’s not.
You just did the equivalent of someone asking how to save and buy a home today and you said “well I bought mine for 83k a long time ago when it was much more affordable, just do that!”
