What I'm looking for is some sort of position that can leverage my background but do so in some other way. Maybe something in marketing at a company like Digital Ocean.
I'm willing to earn a lot less than I earned before. I know software development pays better than a role in marketing, but I'm sick of the tooling. I'm also open to working for an AI company that trains a software agent, which I've done so recently. Does anyone have references to a recruiter or hiring manager that I could talk to?
I would really appreciate any help here. Even just an upvote for visibility.
The most obvious and timeless wisdom is to find those directly who need someone competent to walk them through the business needs of modernizing technology.
1099 or LLC my friend. It’s a bunch of work you may not like doing, up front anyway, once you have a few businesses or individuals whose problems you solve, or convinced to subscribe to your simplifying service things will be like the good old days, only you will have more power in your own process.
Just setting up an AI video security system and walking away is a for instance. Everyone will want that now that it’s so cheap, and offlinable, only few can sit down and get a tolerable interface working for the little guy.
For instance.
Adapt, stop trying to cling to the “old way.”
