   Not necessarily CEH, rather certs that you consider meaningful

   Which ones do you consider meaningful ?

   I suspect this has to do more w/ the audience here. Probably for more sde type works, certs do not matter. But any work with higher level design/arch. etc may need these.

   Thanks a lot! I didn't know about CISSP. I do expect dev crowd to be more skeptical about it, but from what I've seen Enterprises play it safe in consulting world and tend to go after these certs.

   I am surprised by this. I would've thought it meant something useful in consulting world!

    Thanks for sharing the quote. I haven't heard of that before. “I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” — Banksy May the Dijks

    Typically do these gigs require one to be physically present onsite ? I ask because I too am on the fence to try AWS consulting, but don't want to on-site type consulting [i.e you need to be at their site from start-to-finish]

    This indeed can be frustrating. It might help to take a step back and see how the onsite went. a) Think hard about how the onsite interviews went. Did you get enough sleep and were you fresh ? How did you dress up ? Engineer roles are quite

    Looks very interesting! Particularly because I don't know NNs and would love to be able to get a feel for it. I'll give it a try this weekend and share my noob experience

    Someone downvote this thread already! Yeah, it's a satire as proven by "UPDATE: I get lot of immigration related questions from Pakistan and Bangladesh. I think your best immigration option is CHINA. Thank you!"

    It is very unlikely that you will find a title better than what you have. Legacy companies have these handcuffs that works for a while - but when you have to leave, you almost won't find a matching title (Very rare IMO). You should lea

    I too felt the same. The intent is good - but the idea that someone could/should rely on a DIY EpiPen doesn't jive well with me.

    I do. This may not be popular opinion - but the mere fact that they can build what you can after you have "proved" the market for them is always risky IMO. Ofcourse, bigcos may not be able as nimble as you are - so there's h

    OK. Summarizing a top level content (parse headlines and generate nugget summary) would be a very useful feature, if you can do it.

    I tried bbc.com and nothing shows up. Is it supposed to work on top level links and summarize ?
