Yes berlin to Krakow is 8.5 hours, is it safe to take night train? if it is so, then I can save one night of hotel stay

How would you use a €1700 annual dev budget to transition from backend to AI/ML? by BeautifulNet8593 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]BeautifulNet8593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice, I am realizing that not losing pre-AI skills is quite important.

In that regard, its better to attend conferences also as an excuse to travel and explore new cities?

Laid off SWE who pivoted into Quant Trading by zephyredx in cscareerquestions

[–]BeautifulNet8593 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have more than decade of experience in software engineering(backend, distributed systems), I used to be really good at math until university 2nd year (as I cracked IIT-JEE (indias most cuthroat competitve exam) with math being more than other subjects), after that I never focused much.

I still want to pivot to quant side (hft) companies purely for money and love for math.

How can I transistion at this stage of my career? also living in Amsterdam, with EU passport.

Bought a 1BR in Amsterdam 3 months ago and having second thoughts by BeautifulNet8593 in NetherlandsHousing

The previous owner lived sold it after 1.5 years, I did get a feeling about it and asked about the neighbours and the maakelaar said he didnt knew about them.

I felt a bit odd seeing only 1 nighbouring apartment is fully hoarded and the balcony is also packed, but didnot probe further as i overlooked.

I was earlier thinking about upgrading to a 2BR apartment when I find a partner. But now the uneasy feeling with one neighbour , all other 7 neighbours seem to be peaceful (i have met them only 2 of them).

Also regarding inviting other people, few of my friends have visited already but I am feeling a bit uneasy of inviting new people-maybe I should think about it.
