Post what you're learning and building.
Step 3: Start Small

- Small AI startups
Get experience first, big salary later.
Step 4: Apply to Right Places
✅ Apply here first:
- AI startups (they hire fast)
- Small tech companies using AI
- Digital agencies
❌ Don't apply here first:
- Google, Microsoft (too hard at start)
- Big IT companies like TCS, Infosys (too slow)
Step 5: Apply Smart
Instead of just sending resume:
- Find company using AI
- Study what they do
- Build small project related to their work
- Email: "I built this for you, can we talk?"
This works 10x better than normal job applications.
