This Week in Jobs: 20 smart picks for your next tech career opportunity

Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

Welcome back!

The post-holiday season and cold winter weather may bring a sense of blah to your life, but did you know this time of year may also make you smarter? 

According to research, wintertime means peak mental function for many people. Around the winter solstice, many people exhibit the highest sustained attention rates, meaning they can focus on tricky tasks or projects. On the other hand, our attention span is the lowest around the summer solstice. 

So, it may be cold and snowy outside, but it’s the perfect time to refresh a resume, craft that cover letter, or send in an application. Check out this week’s opportunities to get a head start.
