If you don't mind me asking, what's the role?
- axpy906 1y agoAI Engineer. Lots of candidates that want to be one but not many with actual experience, is the problem I’ve heard.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoIn a new field, one needs to look forward rather than backward.
- whatamidoingyo 1y agoAh, that makes sense. I have no experience in AI, and wouldn't even consider applying to those jobs. Although it seems like most jobs are for AI these days. Maybe I should learn.
- nathan_douglas 1y agoHonest question: if you'd hired someone who wanted to be an AI Engineer and had plenty of experience with general software engineering, and was of roughly the median quality of the engineers you've hired for other positions, do you think you'd be better or worse off than you are now?
- lelanthran 1y ago> Lots of candidates that want to be one but not many with actual experience, is the problem I’ve heard. And you haven't had a single candidate that could possibly pick up the missing skills[1]? ================================================== [1] I don't know what those are. There are two extremes here: 1. PhD level Maths is involved. 2. You require them to have experience in a specific product (anything from a Python library to a framework like HF) If your requirements are closer to the first extreme, well sure, you're gonna have to wait for someone that has that. If your requirements are closer to the second extreme, why not just take a candidate? If it takes 2 months to skill up on whatever product you need them to skill up on, right now you would have had that position filled for the last 4 months with your ideal candidate.
