I always go with Wellfound because I’ve seen many credible startups there.
I’ve explored over 20 websites, but Wellfound is the only place I turn to whenever I need to look for opportunities.
Their discover dashboard is just too great, because you could find all the growing startups at one place.
Yeah, I think so.
Haven't got that much results from here, guessing it's based on the fact that I'm from Nigeria
I don't think that's the case. Even I applied to a bunch of positions early in my career and received very few replies. You need a bit of experience because startups are high quality.
If you really believe you're the right fit for the role, reach out to the founder and tell them about your interest. I did that once and they made me eligible directly for the second round.
But I'm not an expert, so I can't say much more. I hope this helps!
@hosseinyazdi this tool webcurate.co did you make this??? It's awesome!!!
One of the job boards worth checking out as well is echojobs.io/, however, they're not FREE but their jobs look quite solid with salary, remote, and skills filters it should be easy to drill down the results but not 100% if it's worth it.
Yeah
@bigsondev looks real nice, if they can guarantee jobs for the African talents, might just be worth it for me
I heard Cord is extremely spammy. Has it changed?
Still very spammy...
Spammy? TBH I applied for a few jobs there and had nice follow-up each time through their Messages system but otherwise, I haven't noticed anything weird/"spammy" there.
Great to know its improved!
great post

If you're italian, don't forget fullremote.it
