@dbounds Hi Darren! We've taken the best of what's on careers.stackoverflow.com and moved it over to the main Stack Overflow website. The job board has gotten a lot smarter - it shows candidates recommended jobs based on your Stack Overflow activity and technology preferences. We're also collecting a lot more structured data from employers like salary, tech tags, industry, and benefits, which will give candidates more information upfront. There's a lot of work being done to improve the candidate experience - a better CV, improved search, and a whole bunch of features that make finding a better job suck less. Getting developers jobs they love isn't a side project for us - it's very much a part of our overall mission to serve the community and advance the industry. Putting Jobs right next to Q&A should send a strong signal that we're committed to helping developers at work - whether that's helping them find answers to their questions or finding that next great opportunity.

@alexa @dbounds This really makes sense. As a designer and developer myself, it seems that integrating career opportunities as core feature into your empire is well done. It feels more apart of the stack discussion too. Cool.

@alexa @dbounds Hi Alexa, if I have already an account on SO Careers, should I make a new account on SO Jobs?

@gady90 No need to! We're working on syncing SO profiles with CVs from SO Careers. Goal is to get to a place where everyone has one login that gets them access to Q&A, Jobs, and the other new content types we're building. Users will have the ability to determine what the community sees vs. employers (if they're on the job hunt)
