Can confirm — have been looking for four months for remote roles. I’ve done maybe 20 or so interviews to various stages, but no offers.
What kinds of positions are you applying to?
mid-level (5ish YoE) SWE and MLE/ MLOps roles
More annoyingly, there have been so many baits and switches/ playing fast and loose with the term remote.
or, halfway through the process
"Sorry, initial job description has been filled. Here's another role, though, which is incidentally equivalent to the old one but the job description now says hybrid!! :) :)"
Ah nice you're on a good track (I can't do AI/ML).
I feel you on that bait and switch, these recruiters are savages and companies desperate.
Is that good lol Tbh I’m trying to get away from it and become a backend generalist because I’m sick of the (1) ML hype that leads to absurdly unrealistic / unsatisfiable requirements and (2) the need to work with internal customers (data science people, etc)
