Help a Fellow Techie in Trouble

5 pointsrookie1231y ago2 comments

Hey fellow HN people!

This is a call of help for anyone who is reading this.

I am currently an adept Python/AI engineer having 7 years of experience currently working Remote for US company.

Recently, a close family member was diagnosed with a relatively long-term illness for whom I need to be a care member. Despite this I am able to give 60-70 hours to my company as I work on Saturday-Sundays as well.

The current job-scene I have is an up and coming startup and I want to transition to a more stable and robust job even if it means I get paid low.

My ask is are there any opportunities for AI/ML/Data-Science engineers who might need someone with a stable team. I am not looking for the FAANG tech salary and I am ok to work on Sat-Sun.

The only thing I am looking for a is a stable job with fair compensation that uses my skills well.

Thank you for reading!

You are underselling your self and will sound needy to any recruiter.

> I want ... stable and robust job even if it means I get paid low.

Again, not good to undersell yourself.

> I am ok to work on Sat-Sun.

Don't promise this on the get go as I mentioned before.

You should focus on your network. Work on what your strengths are and what value will you bring to a company. If you keep repeating the Sat/Sun you will get a job that will burn you and you will be looking for another job within months. Just my 2cents.

Thank you for the pointers! What are some good places to look at which are relatively stable and pay fair? I have good experience both on programming end and AI prompt engineering.

Thanks!
