Oh man, I haven't applied for a new gig in the last 4.5 years so I'm sure the landscape is so much more different and difficult now.
I do have recruiters reaching out to me fairly often on LinkedIn. Is that an option for you? I know devs can be put off by recruiters. What kind of clients or companies have you written code for? I feel like that really boosts my visibility.
I'm in California and one resource I tap into often are the colleges/university job postings for software developers.
Definitely continue working on BE and creating a portfolio project that showcases your BE and DB skills.
I was a government contractor for 4 years then Trump fucked me. I used to have recruiters call on the regular but now it's a ghost town.
LinkedIn is a racket that I hate that I participate in weekly.
