Been out of the employment search for 10+ years. Where do I start?

LinkedIn damned near landed me a sweet job. They were ready to offer, but HR put their thumb on the scale for their guy. Just barely missed another this week from Indeed, think asking $60-$70K was too much for that place, and if so, fuck 'em, that was a serious lowball. Networked what little I could, don't know may people any more, and certainly not in tech.

What are your go-to places to job hunt?

I've been out of work for just at two weeks now. Been searching for a new job since about Jan 1st. Got a few small bites, but nothing really. The real changer for me was when I changed my LinkedIn from "Only Recruiters can see I'm Open to Work" to "Everyone can see" I got swarmed... now, that being said. Have not gotten any actual offers yet, but a lot more traction which I do feel will lead to an offer soon. My dynamic is a bit different as due to noncomplete and a significant distaste for the Deep South, relocation is also a requirement for me.
