Why I built a tool for hunting down “Emerging Jobs” and gained 30+ users on the first day
I wrote a whole essay on Linkedin but I’ll give the gist here and if you would like to check out the story; here’s the link: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7244108662355505152/
Applying to jobs felt like I am sending applications down a black hole, I never hear from them! This seriously frustrated me and I heard similar things from my friends. Keep in mind, I have worked before and this is not even my first job.
I was also talking to a friend who has been put into pip in amazon about joining big tech companies right now is actually gonna kill you 3 years down the line!
Why? because they force you into niche pigeon holes until AI can do the same thing you are doing and force you to leave once they achieve that. Basically you become the PHP developers of the age old.
So, what? How do you feed yourself when your running out of money? YOu find companies that are gonna go on a hiring spree. Why? because they just got money and need developer hands to burn that sweet sweet VC money
How do you find them? Using Praxis, ofc!
But then again, this is my hypothesis that companies hire once they get money, so I factored other several bunch of components to base my analysis on.
This does two things:
- Puts you not in a legacy waiting to die situation but also;
- Potentially make FU money if the startup survives its tribulations

I been identifying and prioritizing features based on what I wanted but more than happy to add any features that the public wants!
