Yo,

I’m trying to figure out the most efficient way to search for jobs (in Oslo) while transitioning from one field to another, and I suspect I may be approaching this too narrowly.

My background is in Data Science / AI / ML, but over time I’ve realized, I fucking hate coding, and I want to move away from heavy coding and highly technical implementation.

What seems more aligned is moving toward roles like:

  • AI Strategy
  • Product (AI Product Manager / Product Ops / Product Strategy)
  • Business Development
  • AI Consulting / Solutions Consulting
  • Commercial roles at the intersection of AI + business

I want to keep this broad so I don’t limit my opportunities, and I have no fucking idea what I would like to do.

At the same time, I’d really like to use my AI/ML background so those years of study and work don’t feel wasted. Ideally, I’d transition into something where that knowledge is still an advantage or entry point — for example AI Strategy, AI Product, AI-related Business Development, etc

My main challenge is figuring out how to efficiently find these transition-friendly roles. So my question is:

What’s the smartest and most efficient way to search/filter for these kinds of adjacent roles?

Are there AI tools that can evaluate my background + goals and suggest realistic role matches?

How do I widen my search enough to maximize opportunities without becoming too random?

Another thing:

Because my CV is naturally filled with technical keywords, I suspect I may:

  • Getting automatic rejection
  • Match poorly with relevant non-technical roles due to keyword mismatch
  • Get pushed by recruiters/algorithms toward coding-heavy jobs

Thanks!
