I changed from being a system software engineer (working on device drivers) to applied research engineer (ai).

I worked for small startups for 2.5 years in order to gain relevant experiences.

How easy/hard was for you to find job?

[billconan]

easier to find jobs in small companies.

I'm currently working for a large company, but I don't think I could get this opportunity if I didn't have the experiences gained through small companies.

Thank you. What advantages you see in working for a large company vs working for a small company.

[billconan]

higher pay and better job security / work-life balance.
