I already have 2 years of experience in python and Deep learning. I have also done my Master's in Artificial Intelligence specialization and have strong knowledge in Machine learning, NLP, and Computer Vision.
Do let me know if anyone can refer me to the above-mentioned profile. I would be open to having a conversation to discuss further for any open position. I look forward hearing from you.

Hi #Airbus fishes, Can someone throw some light on the the different grades/designations ? I see E4 , Technology Lead mentioned in my offer letter.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
