Another day, another retained search for Heavy D. ML Engineer for a Medtech startup arm of a public company. I'm retained for the entire project. Fully remote/ using your expertise to make the world a slightly better place/ cutting edge tech/ well paid/ amazing team/ world class public company benefits for their nimble innovative startup arm focused on ML in the medtech space/ yada yada yada. Read, share and apply. Fully remote means fully remote in the context of being based in the US, without the need for sponsorship. Don't be like the fella who emailed me from Scotland for my other computer vision engineer role, and argued the toss on the nuances of fully remote should mean globally and there's no reason why he shouldn't be considered. So in the interests of being crystal clear, FULLY REMOTE FOR US CITIZENS OR GREENCARD HOLDERS BASED IN THE US. OK? Sweet. I thought leaving the UK a decade ago would mean not having to interact with Brits anymore but here we are. What am I talking about? OK, I'm just going to post now. Oh, also don't be like the Indian fella last week either who said he had his GC before I committed to a meeting with him, lied on his application, to waste 30 minutes of my day to then at the end tell me "I know I said I have my GC, I don't, but I wanted to interview with you anyway so you can see I can do the job and maybe you'll consider sponsoring me now? Also, I'm not actually based in the US anymore, I had to leave, so would they consider up front relocation allowance too?" Even typing that I can't explain the inner rage I felt. I'm still furious. You know what? I'm going to post this now and go for a walk on the beach for 10 minutes to cool off.
