My skillset is mostly in Machine Learning. I had ML internships, research assistantships, an MLE contract.
I can't get junior dev jobs because they are asking for $tech-du-jour and they told me that, they told me that they don't care that I have a master's from one of the top universities in Europe but they care that I lack experience with a particular tech stack.

- DeathArrow 4y agoThen you have two solutions: apply for ML positions or learn a tech stack needed for other type of position. It shouldn't take more than a few months to learn .NET, Java, Python + frameworks and libraries up to the level needed to be a junior developer. If you need help identifying a type of position and a learning path to put you on track towards a developer job, taking into consideration what you already know and are comfortable with and also the market, I can help with that.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoHi, I hope you see this. I'd like to get into backend, it seems that go is the go-to (hah) language for it these days. I have experience with C & C++, and some minor experience with Go so the language is not an issue at all. I am just not sure what the best way to achieve experience with the language is.
