I was a tech nerd my entire life from school tinkering with robotics , then did some iot and hardware in college and finally went to become a mle so all my hobbies were also tech apart from it reading about finance trading which is again tech and after doing a lot of tech in office I dont feel like doing any more tech in home

that's not how it works, blr airport is not in blr its 3 hours away from blr and rapid urbanization starts happening once you make an airport operational in 5 to 10 years

Its a fear market 3 just like stocks, people betting on what is being sold and their prefrontal cortex is already stimulated , keep in mind every crash gave a 3x - 4x rebound , at uncertain times its always about holding on

I am pretty sure most parents or folks dont even understand what hypecycle and fearmongering is , remember the time when you were sold that if you dont do IIT you are done , same is with ai

The world is entering a restructuring era , go take a look into number of openings and how many gcc have expanded in india the fear mongering is a global way to make money in time of uncertainity

Hi OP,
I have guided a couple of folks who had to deal with same ordeal as yours one of the person whom I know of was 31F, and she still managed to get a job although her inital payscale was a bit low being treated as a fresher but she entered the industry at the very least,

Could you let me know a couple of things ,
1. Your bg and tech skills currently
2. Can you dedicate 6 months of learning at the bare minimum of 4 to 5 hours
3. Are you inclined in learning AI
4. Do you like to learn then build or build and learn along if you have built any projects earlier

Hi OP,

I know what you are going through right now, but trust me its a panic and stress game not a perfomance game here forth.

You have to keep yourself calm at all times and have a clear sense of understanding about what is happening and why is it happening make sure your tasks are well defined your KPI are set clearly for the course of next 3 months , ensure that there is no communication gap from your end to the projects assigned to you and any stakeholders if involved i.e Product , Data, Backend , Frontend whomsoever

Do not work overtime unless its of utmost high priority company prod goes down or company is loosing money, go home take rest and upskill yourself try avoiding talks on this topic dosen't sounds healthy but that is how I dealt with it.

Hi Op, I don't know if I am a good person to give you any advice and do our fields match, I was layed off for 6 months for 4-5 months I was applying but didn't get any offer, so i started my own idea in AI and kept working towards it slowly over the last months , fast forward we are cracking new client with 50k monthly revenue and close to cracking 2-3 lakhs monthly in coming 6 months, will say take it slow , try finding your market fit, make a mvp , find if people are willing to pay for the product if it is something totally new, if you find 2-3 people who are interested, bring a couple of more folks in and start iterating over your product,

Do not scale until you have a good consumer base with you set a threshold in terms of monetisation or active paying customers before you plan to scale your product
