Sounds harsh but in tech (ESPECIALLY data & AI), people will absolutely judge you for not being resourceful. These roles demand a high level of initiative, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It’s less about what you know and more about your drive to figure things out.

I always say this. Are hiring managers buying what your selling.

One of the most underrated tools for getting access to higher levels of 9-5 money is interviewing well One reason I'm always saying work on your confidence When you're sure of who you are, and can speak to your talents and gifts people are more willing to buy into you

Research

I’ve gone through 2 org changes (including layoffs) in 8 months, during the change, several job titles changed. Don’t focus on job titles, focus on skill paths and reverse-engineer your career.

When a recruiter asks me if I’m interested in working 5 days a week in the office

Basic SQL is only 7 commands. That’s it. You don’t need another tutorial or a Udemy course to start working with data. - SELECT - FROM - WHERE - ORDER BY - Aggregates like SUM(), COUNT(), AVG() - GROUP BY - CREATE, INSERT, DELETE Master the basics. Repeat.

Some overlooked AI roles: - AI hardware engineer - Data Center Operator - AI Ethics Specialist - AI Governance Manager - AI Technical Writer - AI Interaction (UI/UX) Designer - AI QA Tester

I don’t chase titles, I build skills that make sense. That path led me to Project Management. I’m sharing how it happened, and how you can find your own way too, on Substack. Come through: seamlessapply.substack.com/p/forget-caree…

Interesting. I’d like to see your LinkedIn + resume. And I’m interested in the type of certs.
