That sounds damn frustrating. Would you be willing to share your area of expertise?
At 17 YoE, I avoid the cloud and ML because it's hard to bring my skills and experience to bear, and also I have no passion for them. But I have also found there's a ton of C++ code out there; IME there's a lot of appetite for someone who can wrangle it.
- landtuna 6y agoWell, the technologies I've used are all over the place, but the niche is defense contracting. Until now, I don't think I realized that processing lots of data really fast locally (i.e., not in the cloud) wasn't more generally in-demand.
- mtberatwork 6y ago> the niche is defense contracting That's not exactly a small niche. Edit: Just saw your LinkedIn profile below, have you applied to DC area companies? I think you would have much more success in the DMV metro area.
- landtuna 6y agoNo, I know more defense would be easy. I'd love to try other stuff, though. There's so much out there to learn, and it's more fun to do things that push me.
- mtberatwork 6y agoI hear you. There's lots of non-defensive tech companies in the DC area these days too. The workforce isn't just made up of young college grads either.
