Thanks for the links + advice, I will be following them to read everything refering there. Interesting to see many aspects of the same issue.

I have degrees in Computer Science (BSc), and Neuroscience (MSc) with two years of being a researcher at the University at the Machine learning + Neuroscience department (hybrid). In parallel to my studies, I also started my own company for luxury wedding & events planning. My company was very successful and it was my only income stream for five years. I sold my company shortly after becoming a mother.

Career wise, I am looking for a role that utilizes my analytical and technical skills but at the same time, it connects me with people online and in-person. I love content creation (social media, blogging, video creations and more).Not sure what the suitable role is.

Some ideas:

* Add a small Bio section to your blog, and perhaps an explanation of the work you are looking for in the article. LinkedIn?

* Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring and post in the correct thread if it's still open.

* If you are looking for a technical job, write some technical articles. (Don't expect to make money from them. Only some fun if you are lucky some karma.)

* Also a few small contribution to Open Source may help to learn the current tools.

* I'm not sure if something like https://www.kaggle.com/ helps to get hired, but you may get an update in the tools and also have a few recent technical anecdotes.

* There is people that work as social media manager. I'm not sure if that what you are looking for, and perhaps something tha mix some SWE will get a better pay.
