If you mean "how can I get good at prompting and do it in my existing job" - then check the prompting section I put together here: https://llm-utils.org/AI+Learning+Curation#Software%20Engineer%20focused https://llm-utils.org/AI+Learning+Curation#Software%20Engine...
But if you mean "how can I get a full time job where I just do prompt writing" - Unfortunately I'm not quite convinced it's a real role yet. It was more of a marketing thing that newspapers and others wanted to hype up. For example this https://jobs.lever.co/Anthropic/e3cde481-d446-460f-b576-93cab67bd1ed https://jobs.lever.co/Anthropic/e3cde481-d446-460f-b576-93ca... was the main job posting most news articles about 'prompt engineering' referred to when talking about the big salaries, but if you actually look at what it involves:
> Discover, test, and document best practices for a wide range of tasks relevant to our customers.
(This is largely a customer success role)
> Build up a library of high quality prompts or prompt chains to accomplish a variety of tasks, with an easy guide to help users search for the one that meets their needs.
(Prompt engineering and writing)
> Build a set of tutorials and interactive tools that teach the art of prompt engineering to our customers.
(This is largely a software engineering role)
> Work with large enterprise customers on their prompting strategies.
(This is largely an enterprise customer success role)
It's more of a software engineering + enterprise customer success role, from what I can see.
That said, I've seen $25/hr freelance jobs that are pure prompt writing, though not 40/hrs a week.
If you want to do it because you love writing prompts, I expect that the job roles that'll spend the most time of their day writing prompts will be software engineers at companies that use GPT-4 in production (so Notion, Mem, Speak, Descript, Retool, Quora, Zapier, Stripe).
