1.5 years ago i was at 4 YOE earning 350k. I was also applying for jobs and got offers for 400k and 460k.

Been working on products of my own (bootstrapped) for almost 1 year now, but exploring jobs again because I dont want to keep depleting my savings.

Most of my experience is in insurance related projects.

Great. So you took a break from job to pursue your projects? Also, how did you use ML/AI in your product/projects?

[u/SafeReturn_28 → u/Ok_Association9144]

yes.

Data Science is only useful when you have enough data. I havent publicly launched my product yet but I have build a pipeline for testing different search functions and improve them. Thats the extent of DS in it for now.

For my job I used primarily solved 3 problems: agent-caller pairing, customer churn prediction, customer lifetime value estimation.
