Recently (<6mths) joined a small VC. Love the work, hate the people and wish I was at a bigger shop. How hard will it be to shop around for roles at other funds with only a few months of exp?

Likewise interviewing at early stage funds. Can you share more? What would you have asked in the interview process to learn more?

Also curious what’s off with people/culture. During interview phase did you not sense it out?

Hello guys, I am a ML Engineer by profession and have recently heard about the AI Centre of Excellence at TCS.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

For B4 - For teams with temp (contractor) seniors - I’ve noted that they are held to the same work quality standards of normal full time seniors, while not getting any of the senior trainings or perks that would go with that perm role (just some basic survivals trainings at best), nor the access to the perm positions once they prove they can do the job. Then heard they are viewed as little higher than outsource teams (i.e., the offshore teams only given non-judgmental work). What’s your opinion?
