🚨 (Update June 2025) 🚨 This little post has gained a huge amount of interest, for which I am very grateful. However, it's been overwhelming to keep up with 40-50 reachouts per week. To make things manageable, I am selectively focusing on referrals for full-time Applied Scientist and Data Scientist roles only.
