get good at code reviewing and, unfortunately, spend time on linkedin. subscribe to tech bros in your area and when they start posting their usual slop and AI bullshit make comments calling them out. Managers and owners of other companies, especially startups, will see this and contact you for help. Because all these startups and small tech companies are ALL following the tech bros in linkedin and when they read your comments calling said tech bro an idiot, why whatever their pushing won't work and how it's going to hurt businesses in the long run they'll want to get in touch with you to fix/tell them what they've done wrong to avoid the stuff you were calling tech bro out on.

I mean it's so damn simple. None of these companies are going to advertise or actively look for help/a position to fix their stuff because they're either embarrassed they fucked up or they don't want their investors finding out they fucked up. So they call in me, the cleaner, like Harvey Keitel from Pulp Fiction.
