methusala8··on Where would you go if HN becomes bad?
Twitter is useful if one is able to avoid toxic conversations.

My policy is to mute certain words/people which trigger hostile exchange. With this mechanism in place, I have been able to follow a few interesting voices.

methusala8··on Ask HN: Can you get into security research self taught?
I was looking into this role here : https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/1041386/Security-Dat...

Two more questions: a) Is it possible to get domain specific experience without getting into an cyber security role? b) Did you mean to say that Companies will be open to hire non-Cyber Security folks due to the high number of vacancies? I am sorry. I did not understand what you meant.

Thanks a ton!

methusala8··on Ask HN: Can you get into security research self taught?
Is there any space for Data Scientist here who knows his way around ML and AI? I see some roles that require some Data science but they are not widely prevalent.
methusala8··on Ask HN : LinkedIn or Twitter for Networking/Career Growth?
I am assuming you meant joining a tech community in Slack. I will do more research on this.

I might have to re-phrase the question. I meant which platform do you suggest for getting a lot of career opportunities. Should one optimise for Linkedin Profile or use Twitter?

I will edit the question.

methusala8··on Ask HN: Burned Out Data Scientist – Switching to Back End SWE?
I am also on the same boat, albeit at a lower designation. I totally agree with the bit about managers wanting results without having any clue on the feasibility of projects.

Are there any IT careers which would be an easier transition apart from ML Engineer roles? Any thing based on Cybersecurity perhaps?
