Making companies AI Native.
I have implemented AI at over 200 Mid Market Companies.
AI Audit and Implementation across Marketing, Sales, and Operations.
Los Angeles, California
Joined June 2024
My boss has a network of business owners (150-500 employee size), each with their own teams of AI engineers. He sends me to go audit their AI engineers, as a friendly favor. These companies spent >$5m on teams and projects. 2 years of work. Zero results. 80+ fired & counting.Finding that folks are finding a hard time hiring credible ai engineers or FDEs.- Recruiter reached out for a position at a startup. Former VPs from Microsoft, EY, and some PE firm.. big investment into them already. Me - my lowest is $250k base, then whatever equity we agree on Recruiter - that's ridiculous and too high, sorry. That's reserved for seniors
- 🎉Officially hired🎉 I graduated Spring 2023 with zero internships, zero job offers, and a trash portfolio. I spent two years in the trenches of running my own consulting & development agency... climbing an uphill battle with zero credentials and zero industry experience trying
GIF - Turns out you can just ask for things. Called up a client and asked if he was comfortable with me raising the rates from $40k a month to $60k. he said no but at least I asked yeah that's it nothing else lmao but it was worth a shot
- The sad truth. If you want to earn the salary of the top 1% then you need to work harder than those in the top 1% so you can catch up to them. Highly recommend upscaling yourself with a very niche skill or a broad and effective set of skills so you can be undeniably great atsure, the job market is rough. but you're probably not good enough. over my time on x, I've had the pleasure of following the journeys of multiple mutuals. all of them either landed a job or are really close to doing so. @cachecrab is a cracked Rust engineer. he went from
- Looking back a year ago, the sacrifices were worth it. My girlfriend will soon be my fiancé, I take breaks on weekends now, and I can finally give my partner what she deserves. I received a job offer for "Head of AI" at a law firm. $350k base salary and bonuses tied directlyNot the anniversary my gf and I were hoping for, but it's the one we will remember the most. 10 years together on this day. I was hoping to have it all figured out before now so I can treat her out, pay off all our debts, finally propose and prove stability... but I'm a bit
- is everyone lying? like I am flabbergasted at the lessons I am learning. convos from southern california SMEs and who they work with - get a job? white lies on resume. - $1,000,000 ARR? you can say that if you make $85k in one month ( but who cares about the following
- Salary ranges so far from the jobs I have interviews for $120k, $160k, $240k It's fucking lit man. Zero lying. Just playing the same game now.POV you finally tapped in to the ATS resume system with a simple formatted resume
- Startups at SF: - 996 - $180k base salary with equity that never pays out - "founding engineer" with no business impact SMEs in OC: - $250k base + bonuses based on value given - impact executive decision making - build many cool apps - true unlimited PTO Why pick startups?
- How I Upscaled myself with AI: A Journey from Graduating in 2023 to $100,000+ earned as a Full Stack AI/ML developer & consultant. Long post, but I will teach you how to UPSCALE yourself up with AI. If you don't know me, feel free to read the pinned article in my profile
- Replying to @giyu_codesOh as a follow up: those roles do end up being filled but in smaller capacity. Of the 82 people fired we rehired for 57-59 roles. From those roles we exclusively hired local engineers and paid above market rate. This is best for Small-Medium Enterprise.. none of these were
- Here is how I approach hiring true Full Stack AI/ML engineers. It's an increasingly frustrating role to hire for amongst my recruiting friends, so I helped them out! - PROJECT BASED QUESTIONS The candidate should prepare a few project ideas from what they've built before and I
