I think my experience is probably sufficient to apply to Anthropic or Redwood or any other place that doesn’t need an ML background. Including my background in backend/infra. I did many “tech lead” roles where I was basically in charge of everything, so I’m up for that.
What I enjoy:
The thing I would be missing, I imagine, is the social interaction or something like that.
I don’t think I’d enjoy sitting on a hard problem for weeks/months alone, I imagine I’d be sad.
Location:
I don’t want to relocate (at least not a fulltime relocation), so Anthropic is off the table
Why do you think that Anthropic or Redwood etc would be missing social interaction? I wouldn’t have assumed that… on the Anthropic post I linked they mention that they love pair programming.
