One route you could take would be to look for a startup with young founders. They won't insist on experience, because they don't have it themselves.

Another would be just to look for a good startup. All a good startup cares about is how good you are, not how many years it took you to get that way.

Its also possible I haven't been looking in the right places either. From what I've noticed, its hard to pinpoint jobs at small companies since they don't seem to advertise as much as the larger ones.

However, Jamie from snaptalent was nice enough to email me and pointed me to their job ads page. Unfortunately there's only one company on the east coast listed so far, but I'm hoping once they get rolling with more job ads that my chances for finding a small startup or company to work for will increase.

You can also try:

http://jobs.37signals.com/ (usually webapp jobs)

http://jobs.joelonsoftware.com/ (not always small companies)

I keep my eye on the job boards for most of the major tech blogs and sites, but even there it tends to be larger organizations.

The other issue would be the mass amounts of jobs posted for work in CA. I would really like to stay here in the east (Boston) as oppose to moving halfway across the country for a job that very well may exist where I'm located already.

I think CA would be a great place to live, however it just doesn't fit into my current situation at the moment.

Are there any other resources out there for startup type jobs other than the major players (TechCruch, GigaOm, 37Signals, etc)?

We (over here at snaptalent) just put up joinstartups.com We'll keep this up to date with all the startup jobs (and only the startup jobs) from our network

Hey there, Sumon from Snaptalent here. Expect over the next few weeks for us to rampup the number of companies on here.

Who else on the east coast would love this? Some great startups there that we can help get for you

Email me: sumon [at] snaptalent [dot] com

Something that (stupidly) never occurred to me before I kicked of a startup - if you want to get a job with one, go along to networking meetups (e.g. opencoffee) and you'll soon find some opportunities.
