Where is? I've gotten about 2 interviews via Linkedin, wellfound has little which are the two I know most, Indeed is more useless than even LinkedIn.

I used to have decent luck with Who is hiring threads but not recently as there's relatively little for mid level engineers.

The job market is completely out of whack

Who is hiring has become a scam. I followed it for years and lately I noticed a large cohort of companies (including YC startups) doing shadow listings. The same positions being constantly advertised, month by month, not being filled in this job market?

I hardly doubt it is legit. I do not know why they are doing it, are they scraping data or just showing off, some are plain scammers but it is visible and HN doesn’t help by not allowing discussions about it.

My suggestion is to have a separate discussion thread so people can be aware of it and share their experiences.

Ghost jobs are a real thing, and they create so much noise and make it harder to find the signal when job searching. Also, a lot of job search websites don't even have a category for "remote anywhere." When they say "remote" what that usually means is "remote in the USA" or "remote in the EU" which isn't helpful to someone living outside of those regions.
