So the interview for the marketing job went OK, the pay issue didn't come up in the initial interview but I'm getting the impression that I'm overqualified and not in quite the right areas again, it turns out that counter to the job description there is zero web dev work involved, they may just be looking for a kid who can snap photos and videos on a phone and post them to the 'gram in between vape drags. I'm fine with whichever way that one goes really.
In industry news, it looks like the AI bubble pop may have happened this morning, with Nvidia losing clean over half a trillion dollars of value today...but rather than coming with a collapse of LLM use due to investors no longer subsidizing their affordability, it may come with an explosion of LLM use as everyone and their dog sets up a local DeepSeek instance they can run for dirt cheap.
In reply to GameboyRMH :
It might be more accurate to say the US AI bubble has been deflated a bit, by the Chinese demonstrating a cheaper alternative?
You might want to create a new thread and give your perspective on it, you can probably do it better than most.
I would certainly hope, even if the Chinese are doing it "better" that western countries would not jump in with Chinese based AI! (as in contributing to it's knowledge base) Of course, it still means it's rather helpful to China. You might be able to clarify the situation better.
Well since last weeks hopeful post things have gone quiet again. Today's frustration is a job I had seen and applied for already. When it was last advertised it named the company, but the posting was via a third party. I went through all the steps to apply, then just got a 'thank you for applying' automated email from another company! then nothing. Today I saw the position reposted on LinkedIn, but by the actual company this time. So I went through the full application process, then when I hit Apply for the final time is tells me No, no, you've already applied. AAgghh. Now trying to find people inside the company to communicate with and see if I can get my application looked at. Grrrr.

Sounds like you are chasing it on all the appropriate ways (like you're serious and making the best effort).
I'm sorry it's so frustrating.
