In general does anyone know if its a good time to look for a new dev job? I was really going to move this year, but it seems sensible to wait. Just sucks to see friends with RSUs going up in value so quickly.
No harm in having a recruiter or two feed you opportunities on a regular basis to interview at (just be up front with them that you're holding out for a solid fit for your criteria). Better to have a job while interviewing than be under pressure to accept the first half decent thing that comes along.
