4) Keyword SearchWould love to add SRDS to the list but am not ready to drop $4k and my public library doesn’t have access.

Hello, Clubhouse! It’s nice to be here. I was beginning to wonder if the profession was dying out– glad to find this place.
I have three objectives for being here:
1.) Professional development. I’m certain my work isn’t as good as it could be. I’d like to become a sought-after copywriter, to choose what work I do.
2.) Professional tools.…Read more-

Hi Trent!
I just joined as well and also have an ML background and have worked in the industry for the past 6 years.
Oh cool! I’m actually looking for some ML jobs right now, I’ll need to maintain that income until I can make copywriting pay.
Let me know if you know of anyone hiring.
Just walk down any street in San Francisco and throw a pebble. You’ll accidentally hit someone in need of ML expertise 🙂
Are you looking for full-time employment or contract work?
I’m in Colorado, but I’ll have to give that a try next time I’m in the Bay Area!
At this point I’d go for either one, contract of full-time. I’m fluent across most of the ML tech stack, so there isn’t a whole lot I can’t handle.
Congrats on getting fluent in a challenging field! I get at least 3 recruiters hitting me up a week, if any are ML heavy I’ll send them your way!
Also you and anyone here is welcome to connect on LinkedIn. It’s the only social media I do
