Right. Maybe HN should add tags `Classic HN` to posts like this. Or we could flag it as `Classic HN` lol ...

My 2 cents. Get a temporary job that is tangentially related to your skill sets. For example, if you are comfortable with python, there are plenty of backend jobs (api, LLM integration etc). Along with recession, people might be just using LLM tools instead of hiring a full-time data scientist, which might be the reason for less data science positions. I'm not familiar with data science domain and this may not be a accurate read of the situation. In any case, I think instead of waiting for the perfect data scientist job, just take a tangential job atleast temporarily. It will relieve some pressure, and you can better focus your energy on searching for your ideal job.

Wishing you luck for your search!

SEEKING WORK | Remote | Senior Full Stack/Front-end Product Engineer

------------

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Tech: Typescript, React, Svelte, Vue, Node, Elixir, Phoenix

Github: https://github.com/palerdot/

Contact email is in Github profile

---------------

I'm a product engineer, currently working primarily in the Typescript/React/Svelte/Vue/Node/Elixir ecosystem. I have 10+ years of professional programming experience. I currently prefer flexible hourly/part-time contract remote opportunties. I have experience working remotely with people across the globe.

I'm the creator and maintainer of 'react-d3-speedometer'(https://github.com/palerdot/react-d3-speedometer) and their corresponding ‘Vue' (https://github.com/palerdot/vue-speedometer) / 'Svelte' (https://github.com/palerdot/svelte-speedometer) ports. I've been working in the javascript ecosystem for 8+ years. I'm a full stack engineer (Elixir/Phoenix/Node/Postgres) and mostly working in the Typescript/UI ecosystem.

Maybe check out Mint - https://mint-lang.com/

This is an effort that takes best ideas from Elm. AFAIK, the creator was one of the high profile community members (or atleast a prolific Elm user).

I'm not sure how this language will pan out. There are too much options for UI development right now. Also, last when I checked, you have to buy in on this framework/lang completely and you had no option of plugging this in an existing project.

Still, I think Elm users may find this interesting.

I don't recommend it for production only because it has been partially abandoned

Why do you say that?

Sure, there were some dramas around how the language/ecosystem should evolve and almost all external opinions are not considered. But again, you could argue that Elm is consistent because of this heavy handed approach to language design. I'm just wondering why you would consider it as `partially abandoned`.

I would love to read your take after few years. Maybe you can do a Tell HN after 10 years.

I'm not from the US, so I cannot give any direct practical advice. But, all I can say is, if you choose to go to MIT, just make sure that it is not the only worthy accomplishment in your whole life. Most people from prestigious institutions tend to say they they graduated from XXX/YYY as the only thing worth mentioning about them. While not bad, if that is the only worthy thing to share, then those prestigious schools are not great after all ...

Whatever you decide, all the best.

I'm from India. But as much as we like to believe, cricket is not followed worldwide compared to other sports like Football (American soccer).

This is a user experience problem. It is easy to close a tab. It is hard to delete a bookmark, and easy to end up with a giant list of things you will never care about again.

Precisely. Personally, I created a browser extension[0] for myself where I just save the webpage and set a reminder to read, and then just close the tab. This way, I just close the tab immediately, and then I would be able to revisit the page later via reminders. This kind of works fine for me.

Because just like how interviewing is gamed now by leetcoding, certification exams will also be gamed by some other phenomenon like 'certcoding'. There are plenty of certification programs floating around already, not to mention the coding bootcamps which behave something along those lines. Ultimately, it boils down to who plays the game better, be it interviewing process or certification exams.
