This article is about what I learned while applying to backend/machine learning roles. I took a “shotgun” approach to applications, which is contrary to what many other people recommend. For example, it’s often suggested that you use informational interviews and networking events to get warmer contacts. Others stress the importance of building a brand, or at least a nice profile that is able to attract a steady stream of inbound recruiters. I can’t say which approach is better or worse for you, but if you do take the brute force approach, here are some tips on how to do that. Of course, you can also do a combination of approaches. It’s always good to experiment, and ultimately the interview process will end up being the same once you’ve cleared the early stages.
