Hi folks,

I've been working as a Data Engineer at a small startup for the past two years. During this time, I've seen a lot of changes in the organization. The employee count has dropped by almost 80%, several major clients have already left, and there are no senior employees left in the company. On top of that, the CEO is extremely toxic.

A friend of mine recently resigned without having another offer in hand, but I don't want to take that risk. Given the current job market, it feels extremely difficult to switch jobs. The traditional approach of applying through job portals doesn't seem to be working anymore.

As the title suggests, I'm looking for remote-first companies. My plan is to identify companies that are actively hiring for roles I'm interested in, upskill based on their requirements, and connect with employees for referrals before applying.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to find such companies? Also, is my approach too naive, or has anyone here followed a similar strategy successfully?

I'm primarily looking for Data Engineer and AI/ML Engineer roles.

For context, I've worked extensively in the supply chain domain and have built and deployed multiple AI/agentic solutions for clients.

TIA!

Cheers 🥂

Hi folks,

For the past couple of months, I've been reading about language models, speech recognition, and related topics, while also following research papers from leading AI labs and research organizations.

Lately, I've noticed that a significant portion of the research seems to be focused on natural language applications, which ultimately contribute to building better agents, assistants, and chatbots. However, I feel there is comparatively less discussion around transformer-based approaches in other domains.

I'd love to learn more about how transformer architectures are being applied beyond NLP. I'm particularly interested in exploring their potential in less-explored fields and would appreciate any recommendations on interesting research areas, papers, or applications.

Thanks!

Hi folks,

From the last couple of months I have been reading about language models, speech recognition etc. and have been following research papers by top research firms, Ai labs.

Lately found that most of them are focused on the natural language domain( which ultimately leads to better agents and chatbots). But less focus on other domains too.

I would love to know about the application of transformer architecture on other domains as well. I would love to do my research on its applications in a less explored field.

Thanks.
