How does a Jr. to Mid-Level programmer find work?
zackattack: The answer is persistence. Check Craigslist/eng/ in all major metro areas - chicago, nyc, sfbay, austin, lax, wdc. Email promising job ads daily. Post your resume on craigslist, especially in SFbay, weekly, and alternate with other metro areas. I would be shocked if you did not get at least a few promising leads after a few weeks of hitting up the craigslist rotation.in the meantime, code up something cool, and post it on HN. Then in your signature or whatever, mention that you're looking for work.
