Jobs
Got knocked back for a NLP job that seemed quite well suited. Not to worry as usual the money was mediocre. Academia just seems too hard to get into right now. Not good timing for my PhD in terms of career progression. I'm just glad I wanted to do it for other (undefined) reasons.
I am now looking at Java positions. I will train myself on some of the major frameworks and maybe take a commercial qualification. I will then struggle up through the ranks to be where I was before the PhD, but in a much more commonly used language. Hopefully I will find a good place to work locally and settle in, if that fails I will learn what I can and go contracting again.
I still have searches out for business analyst and project manager jobs, but will need to be lucky to get one as I have no experience. I would also take a Progress 4GL contract if one appeared.
