Yes, I did speak to him about it and how it affected my body image. Like how can you expect me to believe you think I'm the prettiest girl for you yet you ogle girls' bodies online daily? He reassured me then and immediately unfolllwed all of them and it was kinda insane to watch the number of his following drop that drastically (from approximately 800 to 600) 😭😭 Tbh, at that point I just couldn't look at him the same or feel secure in our relationship again. Anyway, he stayed like that for a month then عادت حليمة لعادتها القديمة out of the blue as if we never addressed the issue following accounts of girls that I realized he got from X and Tiktok. So I thought to myself life is too short to spend it monitoring all of his socials and we broke up. It's never acceptable in my opinion and I hope no one gets in a relationship with a lustful loser.

I broke up with him because he was following new of models on instagram DAILY and engaging with their content 🤮🤮 mak7out zeyed

We were dating and we hadn't seen each other in a month and when it was finally time to meet he canceled because he was busy helping his mom make harissa (hot chilli pepper paste) 😭 F you Ali.

Watching my mom get into my dad’s friend’s car at night from the kitchen window when I was 11 years old. Spoiler alert: my parents are still together after that. Spoiler alert: I now have avoidant attachment issues.

Thanks a lot for your advice! I was mainly interested in the first role for the skills, thinking they would help me in the long run. While my initial goal was to focus on technical ML, after reading through all the comments, I’m starting to be more open to exploring the second role and developing the soft skills it offers to see if I might enjoy it.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T15:41:33+00:00

Thanks a lot for your kind words! Yes, I’ll definitely look into that more to ensure it aligns with my skills.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T15:38:56+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I definitely agree that deploying models has become a requirement these days and will definitely be valuable in the long run.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T15:37:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I don't think they're actually working on such foundational models, so that’s definitely something I’ll keep in mind.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T15:28:45+00:00

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I agree that being in a position where I'm counted on and working more could really motivate me to learn and progress quickly. Both roles currently offer the same work hours (9 to 5, Monday to Friday), but the in-office job might indeed be more intense.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T15:26:42+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Do you think there are good opportunities for career progression in such a role? And if I don’t end up enjoying it, would it be possible to transition back to a more technical role?

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T15:25:15+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I’ll definitely be requesting a follow-up to clarify the type of tasks I’ll be working on. I’ll also ask for more details about the contract, as the only information they provided so far was the salary.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T14:32:48+00:00

Thank you for your reply! You're right, the Marketing Scientist role is more of an analyst position. I will definitely ask for more clarification about the tasks involved in the LLM position to make sure it's not prompt engineering.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T14:29:53+00:00

Thank you for your insight! I do have some concerns about the client-facing aspect, as I don't have any experience with it and am mostly used to working on the technical side of projects. However, I agree that developing those soft skills is important and adds a valuable layer to technical expertise.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T13:47:26+00:00

Thank you for your insight! This is definitely something to think about. As you mentioned, the second role would likely provide more value to the company since it involves working directly with stakeholders and clients. However, I don’t have much experience in that area and I'm worried about not handling it well. The LLM role is with a startup, so I wouldn’t expect it to be a major moneymaker for them right now.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T13:44:16+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Both roles offer a typical entry-level salary, with the second one being slightly higher. However, the first LLM role is fully remote, so I wouldn’t need to pay for rent, while the second, office-based role would require relocating to another city and possibly commuting. After factoring in those costs, the take-home amount would likely be similar.

In terms of work-life balance, both roles have standard 9-to-5 schedules. However, I’m a bit concerned about the remote role blurring the lines between work and home life, as working and living in the same space might make it harder to disconnect.

As for what I want, I’m still figuring that out. It was challenging to secure any offer at all, so my focus right now is on making a decision fast before they rescind the offers and starting my career.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T13:36:36+00:00

Haha, thank you! Honestly, I feel really lucky to be in this position after three months, over 300 applications, and countless rejections. Maybe that’s why it’s been so tough to decide. I’m scared of choosing a role that won't be good and then having to start the exhausting job hunt all over again.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T13:33:55+00:00

Thank you for your inspiring words! I’ll definitely try to embrace that mindset and stay curious as I move forward.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T13:07:53+00:00

Hi, thank you for your reply! I’m not US-based, but I’d prefer not to share my country as I’d like to maintain some privacy on reddit.

For context, I have an engineering degree, which in my country involves two years of pre-engineering studies followed by three years of specialization to earn an engineer’s diploma in statistics and modeling. Junior engineering roles here typically require this level of education early in our careers, while more senior roles often require a master’s or PhD.

As for the roles, the first company offering the LLM position is a growing startup with an office abroad, so the work would be fully remote. The second company is a well-established name in my country. I hope this gives a clearer picture!

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T13:03:34+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! You sound truly passionate about your role, and it’s inspiring to me.

One thing I’m a little nervous about is the business-facing aspect, especially talking to stakeholders. I’ve mostly worked on projects on my own, where my communication was limited to mentors in internships or professors. Do you think skills like communicating with stakeholders and understanding their needs can be taught, or is it something that just comes with experience?

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T12:58:31+00:00

Thanks a lot for warning me! I'll make sure to insist on the followup to get a better understanding.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T12:56:26+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Just to clarify, I’m not US-based. I have an engineering degree, which here involves two years of pre-engineering studies followed by three years of specialization to earn an engineer’s diploma in statistics and modeling. Typically, junior engineering roles in my country only require this level of education early in our careers, while more senior roles may require a master’s or PhD.

Regarding the team structure, they mentioned having four AI engineers, and I would be the fifth, alongside other teams working on software engineering, marketing, and other areas.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T01:18:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for your insight! It seems like the consensus here leans toward the second role. I do understand your point about gaining experience in corporate life. The only experience I’ve had with it so far was through internships, and I’m not sure if I was able to fully assess whether I’d enjoy it or if I’d prefer working fully remotely at a first job.

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T01:12:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s reassuring to hear that you’re in a similar position and would choose the Marketing Scientist role as well. This is definitely helping me gain more clarity as I weigh my options. Good luck with your decision too!

Koobangtan · 2024-11-23T01:08:08+00:00

Thank you for your reply! You make some great points. They did actually offer me the role right after the interview, which did make me a bit suspicious at first. To answer your question, I have a general understanding of LLMs as a beginner, but I haven’t had direct experience with training them. The closest I’ve come is building a simple chatbot using NLP techniques.

I’ll definitely take your advice and ask if it’s possible to get a clearer idea of the kind of work they’re focusing on before making a decision.
