Hi HN!
I've worked as a software engineer specialized in NLP/ML for the past ~4 years, but I have several more years of experience due to dozens of side projects and experimentation.
I've always been fond of teaching, especially about topics that I'm passionate about and I was thinking of transitioning to a more teaching-oriented job (job hunting at the moment). I'm pretty sure I would find it more meaningful and exciting than most software development jobs.
I've started applying to such positions, but I was wondering if someone that has experience in the field can give me some pointers. Off the top of my head:
1) how easy/hard is it to find such jobs?
2) do these jobs usually consists of a fixed-time contract or are they permanent?
3) what qualifications/experiences are useful to have, w.r.t qualifications that are usually needed for SWE jobs?
Basically, I'm asking for general advice on how to approach a transition to teaching, how feasibile is it, is it a good choice or not, etc...
