Ask HN: How do you look for your next opportunity?
I was wondering how senior software engineers, technical leads, and CTOs look for their next opportunity.
How do you make sure that it will match your expectations and provide a great environment to work within a great organisation, and a great team?
This process sounds even more complicated when you are based in Europe, where websites like levels.fyi do not exist.
In my experience, I often end up on LinkedIn looking at bland and non-descriptive ads. Most do not include a great description of the position, no information about the remuneration or the package.
Is the natural next step for someone who is a good software engineer and has worked for a while in startups to head to a GAFAM when you are looking for team excellence? I would like to be surrounded by inspiring people.
