How to Become an AI Engineer in 2024
Are you ready to go all in on AI Engineering or AI Business leadership?
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to pivot into a role for the next phase of your career that aligns much better with where the world is headed, this event is for you!
Special thanks to Hired for partnering with us on this event!
In this panel event, we’ll break down the best practices for job seekers to achieve their goals heading into 2024, no matter where they are at. We’ll cover what’s essential for you to know about LLM application tooling from prototype to production, the AI software development process, the importance of brand-building, community, and of course, soft skills like communication and negotiation.
We’ll also put the big picture of tech salaries in context and help you understand how inflation, budget constraints, and remote versus in-person work could play a role in your job search strategy.
The bottom line is that demand is skyrocketing, and people who continue to learn and build on the edge of what’s possible and the right layer of abstraction will reap the rewards in the medium to long term.
Bring any questions you’d like our expert panel to discuss and comment on!
