Summary
A thread advising that to get a high offer from Anthropic, one must ship real projects like a RAG system, an agent from scratch, an eval harness, a fully deployed product, and a business automation, rather than relying on certificates.

nobody gets a $350k offer from Anthropic with a certificate
they get it by showing what they’ve shipped
5 pet projects that make you unrejectable:
-
a production RAG system chat-with-your-docs with reranking + citations, deployed.. the single most in-demand skill right now
-
an agent from scratch, zero framework proves you understand the loop.. not just how to glue LangChain together
-
an eval harness anyone can demo.. proving it works across 100 inputs is what separates seniors from juniors
-
a fully deployed product docker, auth, cost caps, logging.. survives real traffic at 2am
-
a real business automation lead qualification or support triage that saves someone actual money
they don’t care what you studied.. they care what you shipped
the full roadmap to build all 5 is in the article.. save it
@DeRonin_ 5 pet projects is a lot, but honestly, even getting one solid project up and running is huge. Baby steps count too.
