AI Engineer here. I recently started a role in the energy/industrial tech space. The work is strong technically, but it’s hybrid (3 office days) with a long commute. I also have a young child who already spends a lot of time in daycare on office days.

I now have another offer in telecom/cloud: fully remote, ~$5k higher, slightly more senior.
Which would you choose?
A) Stay for engineering depth
B) Take the remote AI role

I have kids too and would take the remote role in a heartbeat. It makes parenting so, so much easier. The added money and better title is just icing on the cake.

Thank you for your comment.
I forgot to mention that the remote role might require some travel.

Another thing, I am wondering which industry is stronger and add good experience to my portfolio:
Energy sector or IT sector

I'm really excited about the remote part of it, but trying to think about it from different perspectives

I’m not seeing the downside of taking the remote role? It’s more money and eliminates your commute. What happens to be your concern?

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Can a newspaper use my photo without my consent?

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account. Turns out a digital media wrote me to have permission to use my picture, and when I said yes, they said they were looking for some other picture because I had already given permission to the competitors, which I didn't.
They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?

Hi,

How is this designation. How is the work life balance, growth & internal hike in Schneider Electric . Also, what will be the in hand salary in this CTC. YOE - 6.8, Tech Stack - Salesforce. The HR literally argued & gave me the exact same CTC which I had already from another company. How is the work culture here . Location - Bangalore.

Thanks.
