- smit 14y agoMove to to San Francisco. Startups are killing each other to find engineers. No joke.

- eshvk 14y agoCouple of points: 1. Not sure what your citizenship status is but if you are not a US citizen/Permanent Resident, it becomes rather difficult for you to get a job here (especially at an early-stage startup where sponsoring your employment visa might be expensive). 2. I don't know how much you are into the whole NLP thing. However, if that is something you want to explore in depth (maybe work for a couple of years figuring out what you want to do in that etc), it might be better to target a late stage startup or a big co. The reason being that at many places in the early stage, things are in a bit of flux and machine learning/NLP is regarded at best as pixie dust that is going to magically solve problems and at worst as something that gives extra jazz to an application that doesn't really need any ML/NLP. Obviously there are some incredible early stage startups that are doing amazing work in the field: E.g. prismatic so there are exceptions to this rule too :)
