Title: Hi all,<p>I am in an interesting situation. I thought I&#x27;d ask you all to see how you&#x27;ve handled similar situations.<p>A few months ago, I joined an &#x27;AI&#x27; start-up. Most of my experience lined up well with the company vision, and I thought &#x27;why not?&#x27;. They gave me what I was looking for in terms of salary and have funding to run for the next year.<p>The company is really just a consulting firm that deploys custom solutions for clients: this is totally fine by me, because it&#x27;s really interesting and fun. But, the CEO is going to investors pitching the fact that we&#x27;ve built&#x2F;are building some deep learning engine that can be applied to all problems. Investors are starting to do due-diligence on us, and I&#x27;ve repeatedly told him that there is no &#x27;engine&#x27;; we&#x27;re a consulting company. All problems we face are unique, and we provide a solution. There&#x27;s no magic ML algorithm that works for all problems. This logic falls on deaf ears.<p>I feel that it&#x27;s best to move on from here eventually - I may give it another few months to see what happens.<p>Any of you have any interesting takes&#x2F;similar stories? I&#x27;d be curious to hear how you handled it.
