You do realize that this is immensely privileged and something that 99% of working devs can't do right? Especially the bit about making calls and instantly getting a job, that's something even famous engineers can't get too.

If you have worked at a few companies and left on good terms, it shouldn't be that hard to contact them so you can go back. Otherwise, previous co-workers will be able to help out as well.

Many developers have no authority on who is hired at the company they work at or even who allowed to be interviewed for that matter, this is where your privilege comes in.
