Good morning.
I have a problem that I’ve been struggling with for several months now, and I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.
It’s about finding a permanent job. I’ve applied to pretty much every agency that operates on bubble.io technology, but I haven’t even received a response from 90% of them.
So far, I’ve worked at two large agencies, but since that adventure ended, no one wants to give me a chance to show my skills, even though I regularly seek opportunities.
I’ve built dozens of applications, from mobile apps to CRM/ERP to SaaS solutions. In addition to bubble, I use external solutions such as AWS, Xano, Supabase, Firebase, Stripe, Make, Zapier, and many others (basically, I can use any solution that has an API), and I’m starting to code a little in Python.
I have worked in international teams, local teams, and alone.
Can anyone recommend the next steps for me? Maybe there is someone here who needs a developer or knows someone who can give me a chance to find my place?
I don’t know if this is the current situation on the market or if the problem lies somewhere within me?
Best regards and thank you in advance for your help.
Hi, there has definitely been some changes in the Bubble.io market especially with the launch of AI tools and other economic factors.
It may be helpful to add some of your past projects here so anyone can go through and hire you if needed.
Wishing you all the best.

The best way to get a job is to show…
have you developed an app and made it profitable?
Are you trying just to use other people’s money to build things? Or, have you built an app that you personally made successful?
The best resume you can have is one that showcases what you’ve done, rather than begging to show what you might be able to do for others.
Yes, I’m being hard, but when you’re in a highly competitive market, you can rise to the top by showing what you’ve already done that is a huge hit.
Added: When you’ve built successful things, you design and build differently

I can provide many links to projects, but I’m not sure if it would be legally acceptable in relation to the agencies for which I built them. Isn’t it the case that when I build applications on behalf of an agency, I transfer the copyright to them, and therefore I cannot claim credit for their creation?
As I wrote in my reply above, I could provide links, but I’m not sure if it would be legally acceptable to the agencies I built them for.
As for my own projects/startups, unfortunately, I don’t have any to show off. I’m currently building one, but it’s still in the early stages.
Thank you for your opinions and advice!
Did you help build a successful app?
What do you mean you can’t disclose that?
What kind of NDA did you have to sign? I’d rethink signing those if they’re that restrictive.
You could at least get testimonials that say what a great job you did, and how the app is now very successful

I always say this when I see one of these posts.
Always be honest! The worst thing you can do is over exaggerate your experience and get thrown into a role that you cannot fulfill.
What 2 large agencies have your worked with?

Basically, when it comes to references and opinions about my work, I think I could still organize that.
Thank you for your feedback.
The first agency was Creme Digital. At the time I worked there, it was creating great products, so I considered it to be a good one.
The second agency was Hilltribe Solutions. We had many developers there from whom I learned a lot, and we created many complex and extensive projects.
