+# 2025 Job Hunt
+
+On 2025-01-09, given:
+- How terribly wrong things are at Superhog on multiple levels (financials, management, my personal development, etc)
+- The fact that I'm most surely not going to get a pay raise in ages which is going to hold me below my market value.
+
+It's time to get ready to job hunt in case I need to move over.
+
+## Criteria for job picking
+
+Must:
+- Salary must be above 80K gross yearly. 100K if the paperwork is done as a contractor.
+- Remote-friendly. Happy to go to an office which takes me less than 4 hours to commute to at most 2 times a month.  Bonus if it's in BCN.
+- Lead with hands-on, data realm.
+- Small company, strong smart leadership.
+- Related to Bitcoin.
+
+Nice:
+- Salary above 100K, 120K if the paperwork is done as a contractor.
+- A lot of holidays.
+
+## Strategy
+
+### Positioning myself
+
+- Nice, updated CV.
+- Start a personal page, describe myself there. Drop a few think-boi pieces
+- Create a repo with the superhog infra template.
+
+### Searching
+
+There are several channels to look for positions:
+- Tool driven: slack channels, meetups and communities:
+  - dbt slack
+  - superset slack
+  - evidence slack
+  - metabase slack?
+  - sqlmesh slack?
+  - BCNEngineering slack
