- build genuine relationships on twitter by cheering on others and sharing what you find, not just self-promoting
- when job hunting, book coffee chats and interviews quickly so you stay top of mind with hiring managers
- expect some companies to pull job offers or close positions late in the process during tough markets
- read the room on salary negotiation, sometimes taking a job that keeps you in tech matters more than matching past pay
- a support or non-coding tech role can still keep you in the industry and valuable to a company
