My 2 cents. Get a temporary job that is tangentially related to your skill sets. For example, if you are comfortable with python, there are plenty of backend jobs (api, LLM integration etc). Along with recession, people might be just using LLM tools instead of hiring a full-time data scientist, which might be the reason for less data science positions. I'm not familiar with data science domain and this may not be a accurate read of the situation. In any case, I think instead of waiting for the perfect data scientist job, just take a tangential job atleast temporarily. It will relieve some pressure, and you can better focus your energy on searching for your ideal job.
So, did you find a company that you are happy with (interviewing or otherwise)? I would be really interested to know how you are dealing with tech landscape changes lately, and your plans for staying in tech ...
I'm a product engineer, currently working primarily in the Typescript/React/Svelte/Vue/Node/Elixir ecosystem. I have 10+ years of professional programming experience. I currently prefer flexible hourly/part-time contract remote opportunties. I have experience working remotely with people across the globe.

It is amusing how times have changed that a highly technical person seeks help in a highly technical forum for things as basic as removing an account. We are truly entering interesting times.
> I don't recommend it for production only because it has been partially abandoned
Why do you say that?
Sure, there were some dramas around how the language/ecosystem should evolve and almost all external opinions are not considered. But again, you could argue that Elm is consistent because of this heavy handed approach to language design. I'm just wondering why you would consider it as `partially abandoned`.
Too many high profile community members basically saying that it's impossible to work with the core team on improvements, with no clear communication that there even is a core team left any more, and bugs in the standard library/compiler that haven't gone fixed despite being one line changes. Many, many pull requests with such fixes have gone ignored for 3+ years. No indication of any possibility for a superior FFI or at least a path forward for the evolution of the current one.
The language itself is still mostly fine, so long as you don't run into its limitations. I still wouldn't recommend it going forward for the above reasons, though. Too many warning signs and contributor goodwill unnecessarily burnt. Evan is a perfectionist and clearly has no interest in developing a feature if he can't see the use case for it (his response to negative numbers in case..of expressions was a classic example).
Personally I think it's all a bit of a shame, Elm is one of my favourite things ever in web development. I really, really wanted/want it or something similar to succeed in terms of major projects being written in it.
This is an effort that takes best ideas from Elm. AFAIK, the creator was one of the high profile community members (or atleast a prolific Elm user).
I'm not sure how this language will pan out. There are too much options for UI development right now. Also, last when I checked, you have to buy in on this framework/lang completely and you had no option of plugging this in an existing project.
Still, I think Elm users may find this interesting.
I created a browser extension [0] for myself to deal with this problem. I have been using this for past 6 years and so far I was able to deal with this particular problem.
How ironic ... He interviewed at Failory[0] in successful venture section. In just 2 years, the product will be moved to the mainstream failed startup section of the website.
Failory (and probably a lot of the Silicon Valley-influenced business world) should stop considering a startup a success when it raises money. Success is long-term profitability.
I would love to read your take after few years. Maybe you can do a Tell HN after 10 years.
I'm not from the US, so I cannot give any direct practical advice. But, all I can say is, if you choose to go to MIT, just make sure that it is not the only worthy accomplishment in your whole life. Most people from prestigious institutions tend to say they they graduated from XXX/YYY as the only thing worth mentioning about them. While not bad, if that is the only worthy thing to share, then those prestigious schools are not great after all ...

Even if I decided to go to MIT today, I'd still probably say that some of the OSS work I've done is something I'm more proud of than having gotten into MIT. That said, I hope that in 10 years neither of those things is what I'm most proud of.
Wishing you luck for your search!
