I'm glad to hear that landing a SEA job doesn't require living in SEA; my question is how to network with a SEA firm from outside given that my resume is proving to be noncompetitive on paper.
I have been a Data Engineer, SWE, CTO, and a professional technical interviewer.
If you're willing to post your email address, I'm happy to send you a message, receive and review your resume, and do a brief assessment to determine what you might change to land a role in Seattle.
N.B. I have worked in Seattle since the dotcom era and have seen many of the market changes that have accurred in the city.
