That's upwork

upwork is full of Indians and Eastern Euros

but ya gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes

I was just asking if you've been doing anything

job gap also fucks you

have you been listing you job gap?

Mysql, basic machine learning, database management, data set cleaning, web scraping, API integration

if you have, my biggest advice would be LIE about the job gap

No. I did all Upwork stuff under my own business so my resume has no job gap

if you can't get work for a while I'd recommend at least volunteering a couple times a week so you at least have something for the resume

lul

have you tried a recruitment agency?

that way you at least have something to say when they ask what have you been doing

They're vultures.. but beats living on the street...

yupp

Its not about the resume. My clients compliment me all the time on how skilled I am and many people I've networked with in the field day it's good enough for a mid level job

better than broke

its something tho bro. youre not exactly nailing the interviews

YEah but I said the same about upwork, but he was already doing that apparently

Who knows if it's even the interviews

it cant be diversity everytime

I tried 2 recruitment agencies in the last 6 months and the only offer I got was a receiptionist.

really?

can you pass as gay?

Not every time. Some times I'm just not qualified

sadly I'm only half joking

_qualified_

But when I am qualified and confident I can handle it, the diversity thing keeps happening

ive seen a lot of data science jobs requiring masters degrees

and i know a lot of applicants have them

so youre prob competing with that

and theres only a few positions per company to boot

Yeah. I'm aware. There are plenty of jobs I've applied to that require a masters. I applied since it couldn't hurt

those are prob the ones you mentioned werent qualified huh

Since when do you get a response for every application

this is why i hate data science, well one of the reasons

Do you know C?

I don't. I only get about a 5-8% response rate

have you tried finance companies? like some quant stuff

I don't know C

Quants even harder lul
