I think remote work has definitely changed the game (not in a bad way). I was working remotely at a YC start up since the start of the pandemic and they never really figured out their business since I've been there. I've been looking around for new work and my job search has changed drastically from pre-pandemic.
I've reached out to my network and found some success there but I've also been shotgunning out applications on LinkedIn to any "close-enough" remote role that had easy apply (I'm saving a ton of time on resume customization and cover letter bullshitting). That's resulted in a lot of rejections which is demoralizing - but it's a numbers game at this point.
No new job yet - but definitely some good responses and intro calls after only 2 weeks of searching.
