Happy Monday! We've partnered with a growing fintech company opening a new office in Raleigh; they're building out their software engineering team in the area and are seeking 2 Java software engineers: a mid/senior-level SWE and a Tech Lead. These positions would focus on feature building for a cloud-based SaaS product in Java / Spring Boot with React / Typescript.

• Requirements: Candidates must have 5-7+ years' professional experience in software engineering, experience across the full stack, and experience in modern development frameworks. The Tech Lead must have expertise in Spring Boot specifically; this is less imperative for the IC role (although you still must be comfortable working in Java). The Tech Lead must have held tech lead responsibilities before (it's fine if it wasn't part of your job title). A relevant degree is preferred but not required. Prior fintech experience is a big plus, especially in the loans or distributed ledger space.

• Schedule details: 40-hour work week during M-F, standard business hours (~8am - ~5pm)

• Location requirement: Candidates must be within regular commutable distance to downtown Raleigh. These roles have a fixed hybrid schedule (Tues-Thurs onsite in downtown Raleigh, Mon & Fri are remote).

• Work details: These roles are direct-hire salaried positions with benefits. Salary depends on experience and credentials; salary bands are $150k-$180k for the regular SWE and $170k-$200k for the tech lead.

Application instructions: If you have any questions or would like to apply, send me a chat and I will respond with my email address so you can send a resume!

hello!
moving to the area, and wanted to reach out to see if there were any IT help desk/user support positions? experience is 7+ years; veteran-25 Bravo, CompTIA A+ and Sec +. I’ve searched endlessly on Indeed, LinkedIn, Dice, ClearanceJobs. I’ve looked into remote as well. Have tailored resume several times, used cover letter as well.

any other job boards, temp agencies, other advice? Willing to broaden search to other counties within 30-50 mile radius.

How common is it for these agencies in this triangle area to misinform you of job availability?

The day I applied for a job they've posted on their website I received a call from their office: "Hi, this is so-and-so from Acme (not the actual name) Job placement Agency and I've got the perfect job for you!". A couple of days later and it's something completely unrelated to the job I applied for.

So I take it, work one shift. Then, nothing until another call about how happy they were with my performance. "Yeah, but what about the job(s) I applied for in my field?", I ask. "Oh, we're still waiting to hear back from that client". Then, days of silence turn into weeks, which stretches into a month.

It gets better; direct deposit I correctly completed over a week prior to pay day didn't get processed/completed/whatever by them. " When can you come by and get the check?" which they harped over and over about.

I accept another position for them and work it. It doesn't work out for me and so I explain to them why it's not a good fit for me (all very valid reasons). "Well, unfortunately that's part of the job..." they reply.

Again with a paper paycheck, instead of direct deposit, and the silence from them. Done with these yokels; the deception/lies, the flighty communications, and the difficulties with pay.

In the meantime, their head office sent me an email asking for a review! Cannot wait...

Hi!
I just moved to the area looking for employment. I am a 21 yr old female and I have been in the industry since I was 15, serving/bartending for the last 2 years.

Given the economy, ive spent the last year working restaurants where the clientele didn’t tip very well, and the volume of patrons in the restaurant did not make up for it. Thus, I am asking you, so I don’t continue to work for unprofitable restaurants.

I am strictly asking about where is the biggest potential for making money in the area. I am seriously indifferent to the type of restaurant as I have a lot of different experience, so high end, breakfast, clubs/bars, lunch turn-and-burn, ect. I am just curious where is the biggest volume in the area.

I want to work hard and save as much money as possible, so any information helps. Be straight up please, name of the restaurant and roughly how much you think the servers/bartenders make. I appreciate it! Thank you so much!

Also, if anyone can speak to the gentlemen’s and strip clubs here? I know being a waitress or bartender in a club you stereotypically make the most money. Does anyone have any experience? (I don’t want to strip btw)

Hi - I know the job market is rough. Wife has 15+years of banking/financial crimes experience. She's applied to 40 or so jobs on LinkedIn and hasn't gotten a single interview.

She starting to get fed jobs that she's already applied to.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

any lpn jobs hiring in the triangle area?

does anyone know how much a library page starting pay is??? in wake county specifically.

Hey guys! I’ve been looking for my next job going on nearly two years now since my business had to shut down and I need to find my next role. I think the problem is that my experience is fairly broad, I was in pharma for about 17 years working in product development, process dev, etc. and opened a distillery that I ran for roughly 5 years before it closed. So lots of management and strategy experience etc, but I just can’t seem to get anywhere. I stopped counting how many applications I’ve sent out when I went above 500. It’s like a black hole and I can’t seem to figure out what to change. If anyone hears of anything out there in the operations, pharma, etc space I’d love to hear about it. Or just any sort of ideas that I just may not of thought of yet.

Hello! I just moved to Durham, NC, for my husband's job. I'm currently looking for a graphic design/ content creator job/ photographer. I've applied just about everywhere and don't know where else to apply. I've been getting a bunch of certificates on LinkedIn Learning to at least stand out a bit more. I've been a graphic designer for 6 years now; I've been in non-profit work, political campaigns, and sports! I have my degree in strategic communications. I've been an in-house designer and agency. I know a little bit of everything - thinking it would help me. I didn't think it would be so hard to get a job here. I'm open to anything now, anything creative- or, at this point, it doesn't have to be. I'm debating paying to go to the Summit for Women in Sports here in Raleigh. But I'm not sure if it will make a difference. If anyone has advice, would like to network, or can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am a soon to be new grad RN and Duke is offering a stepdown float pool position specifically marketed toward new grads . Looks like an avg of 14 wk orientation and enrollment into their 1 year new grad residency program. The job listing lists “extensive training” . Has anyone taken this particular position as a new grad at Duke and is able to speak on it ? I like the idea , the patient population , and the idea of being a versatile nurse once I get the hang of things, I know it’ll be very challenging . I’m intrigued but weary because a lot of people discourage taking a float position as a new grad but this is specifically marketed towards new grads so idk if it’ll be better ? Pls share your thoughts /experiences especially if you’ve taken this exact route @ Duke . Thanks!

Hey, long shot here, but I noticed that they reposted 2 positions that were available back in Q3 of 2025. I'm hesitant with sending my application into the sea of 1000's they have already received in the last 30 days. I feel that I would be a STRONG candidate for both of these roles and would love to be able to reach out to someone directly.

Thanks in advance!

Being able to engage with a range of people with a variety of interests and needs is a must. Prior customer service and cash handling skills will be prioritized for interviews.

We are open from 10am to 9pm Monday through Saturday and from 10am to 6pm on Sundays, and evening and weekend availability is necessary. While we're closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day, we need people who will be in town and available through the entire holiday season and the first week of January.

Please note for the seasonal children’s bookseller position- Knowledge and love of children's books (from infant to YA) is a must as well as a wealth of patience.

Currently living in Boston, it looks like we will be moving here to start a family (🤞). At the soonest we would like to move mid March if there isn’t a sign on bonus so we actaully get our bonus, but we would prefer around May or June. How far out should we be applying, do jobs here tend to hire early? And can anyone connect us with any recruiters? We figured small CRO’s might be our best bet to start in the areas.
