Job Connections in the AI/ML Community - October 2023 Edition

I've been both a job seeker and a recruiter in the AI/ML space, and one thing I find crucial is clearly specifying the tech stack in the job descriptions or resumes. It saves a lot of time for everyone involved. From my experience, adding details like Python for development and PyTorch for deep learning can really help in matching the right candidates with the right jobs.

Quick question for job seekers: Are you also listing specific AI/ML projects you've worked on in your resumes here? I'm wondering if it's more persuasive to describe the impact of those projects first or to focus on the tech stacks you used.

I've been using these threads for a while now, and they've been super helpful. Managed to land a contract role last May through here. For those looking, don't just post your availability; engage with companies directly. A little effort in customizing responses can really make you stand out. Good luck, everyone!

Is anyone exploring hybrid work arrangements? I'm in San Francisco and considering opportunities that allow a mix of onsite and remote due to some project collaborations needing physical presence. Would love to hear how companies in the AI/ML space are structuring these setups!

I've found these threads so useful! I managed to land a remote contract gig through one of these connections earlier this year. For people hesitant about sharing details like salary expectations: be upfront! It really helps to avoid awkward negotiations later.

For companies hiring, it might be helpful to mention if you support visa sponsorship. Many of us in the community are open to relocating but need that support. Btw, does anyone have experience transitioning from data science roles into more ML engineering positions? Curious about the path and what skills were particularly important for the switch.

I totally agree that being specific about tech stacks is crucial. When I was looking for ML roles earlier this year, specifying my proficiency with TensorFlow and PyTorch got me way more targeted interviews. Employers seem to appreciate when you’re clear about your expertise and expectations.

Has anyone had experience with negotiating salary ranges provided in these threads? I often see ranges that seem a bit low compared to industry standards. Just wondering if there's flexibility or if companies typically stick to what they post.

I'm looking to hire a mid-level ML engineer for a remote position. We're offering $100k-$130k depending on experience. Our team focuses on building predictive models for healthcare analytics. We're particularly excited to meet someone with experience in Python and TensorFlow. If you're passionate about using data to make impactful changes in healthcare, drop a link to your portfolio!

Hey everyone! If you're hiring for roles in Europe, especially remote ones, I'd love to connect. I've got 5 years of experience working with Python and TensorFlow, mainly in the healthcare sector. Looking for a role that lets me dive into NLP projects. Salary expectations are around €70-80k, but open for negotiation depending on the role. Here’s my resume: [link]. Excited to see what opportunities are out there!

Has anyone here had experience transitioning from a research role to a more application-focused ML engineer position? I'm curious about the kinds of skill adaptations that might be needed and any tips on portraying that experience effectively in the job search.

As someone who's hired for remote AI roles, I’m curious to know how others handle time zone differences. Do you find it easy to manage a team spread across different continents, or is it challenging to coordinate meetings and workflows?

Hey everyone! I'm currently based in Seattle and looking for full-time roles focused on natural language processing. Ideally, I'm searching for positions where I can work with Python and TensorFlow. My salary expectations are in the range of $100-120k. Would love to connect with companies or others in similar roles to exchange experiences!

Does anyone have experience transitioning from a different field into AI/ML? I've been a software engineer for five years specializing in backend development, and I'm now considering a shift. Are there specific courses or projects that helped you in gaining a foothold in the AI/ML landscape? Thanks in advance!

For those looking for roles in ML engineering, I highly recommend checking out TensorFlow's certification program. I completed it last year, and it's been a huge asset in getting interviews. Also, curious to hear if anyone has insights on how AI roles are paying in the Asia-Pacific region, especially for mid-level positions. Would love to compare my current offer with the typical range there.

Is there anyone currently looking for ML ops positions? I'm curious if companies are preferring on-site roles over remote ones. Every job posting I read seems to ask for a specific cloud experience—AWS, GCP, or Azure. Is it advisable to focus on mastering one or getting a broad understanding of all three?

I'm currently on the lookout for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer role in a fully remote setting. Have 5 years experience in NLP and Computer Vision. Salary range: $120,000 - $150,000. Tech stack includes Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. If anyone knows of opportunities in this range, hit me up!

Just throwing this out there—if you're looking to break into AI/ML roles, transforming a GitHub portfolio with detailed project documentation can really set you apart. I transitioned from a finance background and showcasing how I applied ML to automate trading strategies was a game-changer. Companies loved the practical application!

I've found these threads super useful in the past! Last month, I connected with a startup for a remote contract role in computer vision. Super important to mention your willingness to relocate or work in different time zones if you're open to it—that can open a lot of doors.

Does anyone here have insights on current remote AI roles? I’m mainly focused on computer vision and have been using OpenCV extensively. Curious if there are companies that are open to fully remote candidates, especially in this field?

I just wanted to jump in and say this thread was really helpful for me last month! I landed a remote contract role with a startup focusing on using ML for healthcare analytics. If anyone needs tips on creating a standout profile or resume, feel free to ask!

Hey all, I'm a data scientist based in Toronto, interested in remote contract roles focusing on NLP and computer vision. My last gig had a budget of around $120k annually, but I'm flexible depending on the project scope and tech stack. I noticed a lot of companies are shifting to hybrid work; what are your experiences with this? Anyone else prefer fully remote like I do?

Anyone have experience negotiating salary given the recent economic changes? I'm seeing a lot of positions offering lower than expected in the AI/ML space for the US right now. Curious how others are managing expectations and if it's similar for remote roles.

I've been part of this community for about a year, and I actually landed a great remote job through a similar thread last December! For those applying, make sure your GitHub and project links are up-to-date and relevant. It really helps stand out.
