How long to find a job - East Coast

If you're willing to relocate, you could get a job in three months. Lots of jobs in Boston. Cost of living is high though.
Thanks! Three months is not that scary.

Technically he doesn't appear to be a coder per se. Since he mentioned cryptography I would suggest he goes to: [Topic: blockchain · GitHub](https://github.com/topics/blockchain) delves into that starts selling snake oil solutions to world problems :)
You are one verry sick puppy, ain't you? :laugh:

One anxiety disorder is often combined with others. "Also I hate foreign countries" - I'm rather reading that as that he's having fear of the unknown, in one or several ways, not necessarily that he hates foreigners as such. (still possible of course, but I wouldn't bet on it) My wife suffers from anxiety, so I sadly know a bit about it.

Thanks. The aggressive ignorance in this thread is getting a little too high.

Nish, if you need to, you can borrow my reading glasses. To quote Deyan Also I hate foreign countries doesn't seem to be a flight anxiety thing at all so Urban Crickets question seems very valid to me.

If you had to point it out, that's because you know somebody was going to. What's a "real" American beer anyway?
The number of breweries is astounding. I happen to like Boatswains Double IPA. For an auslander, you'd probably want some sort of brand name - like Sam Adams. There's an series of Fish Head IPA's. There's Stockyard Oatmeal Stout. If on went to a 'beer distributor', one could spend a very long time just trying to read all the labels. For me - it's a double delight. I've always liked hoppy beer - and for now at least, it's in fashion. Even if the fashion changes they'll still be around. Long ago, for my thesis, I had Carlsburg Elephant and Gosser Stiftsbrau - such exotica is no longer necessary and easily surpasses.

Then you shouldn't have popped your head up and show the world your arse. Maybe it's due to English being a secopnd language but your comment was xenophobic at the least. But that is only if I give you the benfit of the doubt. I give no one that benefit. Pull your fucking head in you racist cockknocker.

Hi Guys, I hope you're doing fantastic. Please share you experience. I know the mileage may vary, but I've been out of the market for too long - 10 years, so have no idea how it's outside these days. I have enough resources to survive for one year. Max. Do you think that will be enough? Also, can you please share some headhunters in the tri-state area? Have experience with practically every common language/DBA system and most of the technologies. No web development or WPF though. Quite impressive resume including - from Visa and Mastercard to container vessels. I'm 42 yo and with almost 20 years of working experience + real education (master in CS). The thing is my company sends me temporally to Germany, and I suffer from severe anxiety and cannot board airplane. Also hate foreign countries. Which in my case renders me useless for my current position(manager).

I-95 is 1,919 miles long, running from the Maine/Canada border to Miami, FL. The length of time to find a job will vary with the location. "Tri-State" area could be Maine/NH/Massachusetts, Massachusetts/Rhode Island/Connecticut, etc. Your question is too wide open for anyone here to provide a valid answer. What I can guarantee is that if you can't be more precise in your resume and job interviews you won't find a position that you like.

I got to the end of the page and no one actually answered you question. In my experience the problem is the Recruiting companies, hiring managers and the interview. Those folks almost never advertise for what they want. Mostly because they do not know themselves. So they ask for Super-Developer/Programmer. Once you get your Resume' out there the Recruiters take a shotgun approach and your are inundated with a ton of "opportunities" with requirements that don't match your skillset (or anyone alive today, except maybe God). As for length of time it is totally random. A lot depends on your requirements. Are you willing to re-locate for a 6 month contract? Are you adamant about staying at home? Are you looking for contract to hire and so on. I have worked 3 contract jobs in my 36 year career. All with reasonably satisfactory results for both parties. I would suggest Dice.com and VirtualVocations.com as places to start and get your resume' out there.

Never said I'm US born. Otherwise, with this grammar, I would be a little retarded. Was brought here long time ago, after I made some interesting applications in cryptography. From Bulgaria(google it). With an airplane. That's how I first found for my problem with long haul flights. And the last time I was forced to have one, it took near a year to put me together. I'm not going trough this crap again.

I didn't want to provide more detailed resume as I do realize, Longie is not a job board. And I think I give enough - very versatile experience with the most of the commonly used languages. And to answer your question, I would reallocate along the I-95 and to some extend to I-78. Thanks for trying to help!

Thank you Sir! Both for the advice and for the straw. I was thinking exactly for a contracting jobs. It fits my way of doing things. I'm very effective and dedicated programmer, bur I also need some extend periods for recovery.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is as evasive answer as can be. :-) So, there's no "one American beer" that everybody agrees is universally liked? Or at least a small list of names that get general approval?
Evasive? Perhaps a poor choice of words on your part. Now as far as popular beers go, they typical American sucks down swill. (coors, bud, etc.). Now if you add to that list Corona (a Mexican beer), you've covered almost every massive gathering and tribal sports event that I've seen. But - it's a large country and even for swill, there's regional beers ("old style" in Chicago area, "Lone Star" in Northern Mexico, etc.) - there a a few huge brewers and for all I know, they just repackage the same shit to make locals feel important. Nonetheless, good beer is everywhere to be had and without difficulty. And, fortunately for me, my base favorite is even a bit economical once it when from 23oz bottles to 12oz cans.

That was my point. I can't name a single *American* beer that *Americans* agree is an "obvious choice". You seem to be in agreement with your Coors/Bud comment. And you're right about Corona...and since it's Mexican to begin with, well, it can be ruled out. "There's no clear winner" is all I was trying to say. I'm admittedly not much of a beer drinker myself, so I'm nobody's yardstick.

Yes, I get it. I am a VB6, VB.Net, and C# programmer who is skilled in SQL Server. I only do Desktop and Winforms applications. I wish you luck in your future endeavors. Ed
Newer isn't always "better". Just different.

It didn't actually provoke a reaction beyond the reference to that line - all you had to do was ask what most of them drink - but remember, most of the are "users" with respect to computers, too, so there's not much to say about them. Corona, by the way, is not much better than the cheaper domestic swill - just a fashion statement of some sort. What's great is that one need no longer (1) rely on imports for beer that taste like beer, and (2) good beer's available just about everywhere (at least here, in NYC suburbs). From my point of view, I was greatly disappointed when I first tasted beer that it was that rich smooth taste that the aroma promised. Well - now it is. Think of it like coffee: US standard roasts are way too light. Restaurant versions of the same coffee are a bit darker, but still light. I discovered real coffee a long time ago - fortunately, I don't have gourmet tastes, so I'll drink nearly anything - but I typically buy Latin Roasts (in a Latin oriented supermarket) that are really good, and considered a specialty item in that store, quite inexpensive. In fact, today's breakfast include Cafe Caribe (a super deal at 10oz/$1.50 - should have bought more).

People who haven't traveled for work often think it sounds glamorous and can't fathom why anyone would complain about doing it. They don't understand what an absolute pain in the ass air travel is and how seeing hotel rooms in many countries is not the same as being on a vacation. I stopped consulting shortly after 9/11 because after that, travel became unbearable. I don't know any headhunters in the tri-state area, but if you're interested in freelancing, I have been using a new site that is only for freelance developers, and the hiring companies are vetted so you don't get the people that are looking to build a world class website for $1.50. They also have a guide for getting started in freelancing, in case you're interested. Check it out here. https://subspace.net/guide-to-freelancing[^]
