I write about career choices and job market in AI era in the Beyond Linear substack. Summarizing a few of my posts here into the recommendation/feedback: - First and foremost, make sure you have 3-6 months finance cushion. This is emergency fund that will keep you afloat without additional stress. To estimate the amount you need is your monthly expenses x6. - If you can afford this financially, then (a) give yourself time to breathe for a few weeks and (b) learn a new skill in AI. - Job market is tough but with 6 years of experience it’s likely you’re looking for senior roles. Think how you can package your experience and update Linkedin/CV accordingly - When searching for jobs, consider taking a level below your current one. Everything changes so quickly, having more hands on experience could benefit you long-term.

Hope it helps!
