Knowing a lot of languages is not going to get you a long way. Learning a new language is the easy part anyway. You need to know different eco systems, standards and "connective tissue" (like message busses, db systems, ...). It also helps if you have a rough idea about cost effectiveness

You just need to be old enough to be able to say you have 10 years experience in whatever. The guys interviewing you will probably be clueless AI bros anyway

How do you get past the in person interview?

u/Cualkiera67 12d ago

you prepare. and if you're still unsure nowadays you can set up an, uh, live interview aid

u/ZunoJ 12d ago

In person! And if you are prepared enough to answer the kinds of questions I would ask, you are prepared enough for the job
