The interesting and also challenging thing about this space is: there is so much to do.
There aren’t many paid opportunities to do the meaningful work.
There isn’t a well defined career ladder. You do this then that happens.
Every single opportunity I got in this list I’ve had to be exactly at the right place at the right time. I’ve had to beg. I’ve been the person in the room who’s like, YOU NEED SOMEONE TESTING BURMESE / THAI / VIETNAMESE PLS.
It hasn’t always been smooth. In many ways I don’t fit the typical profile of the AI/ML/NLP bro.
But I’m resolute that my ‘other people need safety too’ perspective is something that defines my work and I will continue to advocate for that.
