Try to become an SME on the business side in addition to technical abilities.

For example understanding how financial instruments work and how to model them onto systems is a valuable skills and cannot be fully trusted (yet) in the hands of AI as mistakes can be really really costly.

I can't believe I'm typing this but actually trying to sneak into US via southern border looks quite promising at the moment.

It should cost you around $20K - $25K, paying for the smugglers and such.

Lots of white collar people from my middle-eastern country has chosen this route for the last 2 years, instead of waiting for the official visa channels.

Mate this is Who's Hiring thread, not "Who wants to get hired"

Please do not create noise.

Quite surprised no one mentioned this:

Take care of the mom. Make sure she is rested, comfortable.

She is the primary caretaker, she is the baby's whole world.

Happy mom - happy baby.

Same here, Google's "How to" search share will be eaten by ChatGPT and similar products in about 5 years maybe.

Regardless of which digital tools they use, everyone is a potential terrorist if the government is tyrannical enough.

If databases are in play, instead of trying to understand the business logic, have a go at understanding the database structure first.

What are your tables, how they are related etc.

Then look at the modules that interact with the data layer directly and move up.

This is a language agnostic approach though, but it has worked out well for me.

What I'd suggest (having quite a bit of history with UK recruiters):

For each section in your work history, create a subtitle and just list the technologies used.

Eg:

2020 - 2021 Company A

Technologies used: Python, Django, MySQL

2021 - 2022 Company B

Technologies used: Kubernetes, MongoDB, C++, pandas

This will just help recruiters who'll be skimming through your CV to put you in the right category.

Totally agree.

If you use django you get the following out of the box:

* Database management (migrations / schemas) * CRUD UI -> Django admin * Plug'n play API -> Django rest framework

If your DB schema is not super complicated (think views etc) and you are not relying on DB procedures, then such framework would save you so much time.

Heavy use of C++ and FPGAs really.

I know of one exchange that had a generic matching engine that used C++ meta programming to suit different markets.

DB-wise, postrges and Oracle and KDB.

UI-wise React is pretty much the standard.

Setting up a Github profile with sample code would be good start.

If he can provide videos / screenshots of his work it would be even more impressive.
