Hello blind folks, I have started my career as a Data Scientist for a few years in an insurance company, having my day-to-day work around building ML solutions for the business use cases. Primarily focusing on model building from scratch to pre-deployment. I have a MS but no PhD, so I am more focused on finding positions on ML model building over research. Probably the best matches to my current job are ML Scientist or software engineer-ML roles at Tech company. I like my current job but my ultimate career goal is to break into Tech industry (including FAANG and non-FAANG). So here are my questions: 1. How can I get interviews from Tech companies? My mass applications were all ghosted with or without referral. possibly because I don't have a Tech company on my resume. 2. Should I keep applying Tech with my current YoE, or wait until I gain more experience? I realize that the experience in non-Tech is heavily discounted by Tech's recruiters. Will it be better to break into any Tech mid-sized or startup than staying in a non-Tech company?
Yoe?
I run a daily mailing list that emails the latest remote ml roles found that day (nothing outdated or older than 24 hrs)… not sure if that interests you but DM me if you want to join the list
You were ghosted because the market is bad right now. Otherwise they would surely bring you in for the interview. The only immediate recourse is to work on your resume.

Make sure your resume is just focused on data and quantitative stuff (include details like any data driven work you happened to do in non-data science titled jobs)
