1) List the tech you want to work with. AI/ML is hot right now.
2) Apply to anything you want even if they say 3 years experience. Error on the side of applying to things even if you don't think you are qualified. You need practice doing this.
3) Try to anything you can to expand your personal network. (Online and throughout EU if possible)
(This is what I'd do but realize my advice is heavily influenced by my experience here in Silicon Valley)
PS. Why the throwaway account? You want to make connections! Don't be afraid to ask for help on forums like this and in person. Connections are key.
- thrqusway 10y agoThanks for the reply, I am still searching but feeling a bit more optimistic now. I will keep your advice in mind anyway I can. It is quite hard to network living where I live right now, but I am trying to get out more to where people are. I am not sure where I can "network" online but I will try to figure that out in the coming days, maybe I should be more involved in online groups that do things that interest me. I feel quite frustrated that I still don't have a job when some of my colleagues are making some progress, but this time allowed me to be more mindful on where I am at and what I might want. I might not do well working for other people for a long time. I want to gain first hand experience and eventually create a company with people I meet along the way. For now I just don't know how to get there. The original post was way more personal, that is mostly the reason for the throwaway account. Thanks again.
