the state of devrel and recent job search thoughts w/ sam julien
guest: sam julien, developer relations leader, starting a new devrel role at an enterprise generative ai company
- treat your job search like a job but set clear work blocks instead of grinding nonstop all day
- split your search day into focused time blocks so you still have room for family and rest
- sort your job search tasks into green time like interviews and applying, yellow time like resume and linkedin upkeep, and red time like busywork, then prioritize green time
- try to book two meetings or interviews every day during a search to keep momentum and feel progress
- build your network and give back before you need a job, since that groundwork pays off if you're ever laid off
