servers of the different stacks you mention in your profile?
This might seem a bit harsh but I want to help for real -- you need to change your style completely:
I do not think your approach is going to work right now, of appealing to selflessness. It is not about that. There is sort of a "guilt trip" there, which creates a toxic future relationship, and makes your employer or client into your savior.
There are tens of thousands of programmers with your experience and a lot more. Your profile online is great though, you wipe the floor with >80% of the freelancers on discord
... so tell no one you lost your position, have no contracts, etc... and just be more awesome than everyone else. Compete. Rise above. Unleash yourself.
Every good CEO who hears your story right now will never bring you into an awesome team just to help you. We need our teams to overcome problems of any level, always overcome the challenge at hand, and out perform their prior best. Your "messaging" is off... Just accept that you are better than X% of most programmers and go take the work from the competition. With respect, change your narrative.
New narrative example:
This is how I am awesome, specifically. Imagine me on your team. I am available right now but not for long.Maybe more modest but you get the idea. I use most/all of the stack elements you mentioned. I loved your profile on
Vercel
, but asking for help is a huge turn off when you are a developer. YOU bring help. YOU be selfless. Get serious and raise to a new level of your talents.
Go get it! I wish you the absolute best!Yuri Drabik
