how to get a job off of x/twitter w/ staff eng, jacob evans
guest: jacob evans, staff engineer at wop.com
- treat tech twitter as a place for genuine connection, not just memes or drama
- find mentors by engaging publicly with their posts instead of dming asking for mentorship
- build your network by finding shared interests outside of tech like hobbies or background
- when a post gets traction, be ready to say yes to opportunities like flying out to meet a team
- job boards and easy apply can have a very low response rate, so build real connections elsewhere
