Where by job should be understood the best employment option in your opinion, outside of being a founder/co-founder.

Start personal web presence where you discuss things that matter to you. Then start networking and leverage those relationships to find your dream job. In my young career I've had a few major transitions, and they were all due to having a professional network that wasn't static. In other words, you can't wait to use your network when you need something, like a job, you always need to be staying in contact with people and putting yourself out there. As I mentioned earlier, that includes an online presence, this makes it easier to reach out to leaders in your desired industry.
