I asked claude to find a job that will make me rich, a job that I will love, and a job that I will hate. Here are the results

I've been trying to automate my job search with AI lately and decided to have some fun with it. I gave Claude three prompts:

Find me a job that will make me rich
Find me a job I will love
Find me a job I will hate

It did not disappoint.

The job that will make me rich:

Bridgewater Associates — Senior Product Engineer, AIA Labs | New York, NY | $400K–$900K

The world's largest hedge fund is paying up to nine hundred thousand dollars for an AI platform engineer. You'd be building an AI platform that powers investment research and scientific workflows for the people who manage $120B+ in assets. 7–12+ years experience required — but if you land it, you're clearing more than most doctors and lawyers combined.

The job I will love:

Anthropic — Research Engineer, Frontier Red Team (Autonomy) | San Francisco, CA | $350K–$850K

You build autonomous AI systems. Then you build other AI systems to hunt them down. Then you interface AI with physical hardware to see what could go wrong. Then you present your findings to policymakers. It's literally "break the most advanced AI on the planet and tell the government about it" as a job description. Oh and it pays up to $850K.

The job I will hate:

Vanta — Salesforce Quality Engineer | Remote US | $128K–$151K

Your entire career is QA for Salesforce. Not building a product. Not shipping features. Testing Salesforce. You need 5+ years of QA with at least 3 years specifically in Salesforce QA. You'll become an expert in "Salesforce governor limits." You'll coach people to "build testable solutions" — in Salesforce. And for all this specialized suffering, the ceiling is $151K. Remote though, so at least you can cry from home.

If you want to try it out for yourself you can connect this MCP I built which can search for SWE jobs. I'm a little biased as the creator but I'm honestly surprised how well it performs. I'm personally using it with claude code / Opus 4.6. Lmk if you have any feedback!

I made an MCP for automating your SWE job search

Hi all!

The other day I realized it's 2026 and AI should be able to automate every tedious task for me.

So I built an MCP which lets claude code or agent of your choice read hundreds of SWE job postings and only surface the best ones based on your experience and preferences.

Here is the quickstart guide you can follow to get set up along with some example prompts.

The data comes from my job board for software engineers (GrepJob) which scrapes jobs every hour.

Let me know what you all think!

Also, here is an example of a prompt I had good results with:

You are a job searching agent who will use the GrepJob MCP to find software engineering jobs that match my preferences and experience

Must haves:

- Remote or NYC-based
- $180k+ base salary
- Backend or product engineering focus

Nice to haves:

- Great engineering culture
- Cool product
- Chance to work hands on with LLMs / AI products
- Roles that sound especially unique/interesting

Don't stop searching until you find at least 30 jobs. Rank them in priority order of which ones I should apply to first. Explain why you chose each job

Please find my resume at &lt;local-path-to-resume&gt;. Make sure that the jobs you recommend match my experience and years of experience within reason. Be sure to include links to every job.
