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.

[Jolly Sim]

Yeah, I think so.

[koda_wiz]

Haven't got that much results from here, guessing it's based on the fact that I'm from Nigeria

[Anmol Baranwal]

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!!!

[Hossein Yazdi]

Thanks a lot! Yes, I've built it! 😊

[Adrian | Founder of BigDevSoon]

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.

[Synergylab 003]

Yeah

[koda_wiz]

@bigsondev looks real nice, if they can guarantee jobs for the African talents, might just be worth it for me

[Martin Baun]

I heard Cord is extremely spammy. Has it changed?

[Jordan]

Still very spammy...

[Adrian | Founder of BigDevSoon]

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.

[Martin Baun]

Great to know its improved!

[Leornadia José]

Is it a valid one? Did you find a job through it? The design is a little bit "old-fashioned" but looks like there are some nice recent remote jobs posted there (even 1 day ago)
