I always retrained my models on Fridays so that I'd lose less time. Then I found that I always had enough administrative type tasks, meetings I'd put off, or training I'd like to do (training that I totally wouldn't take advantage of if it wasn't for the downtime), to get me to the end of the model training.

Just another thought, have you considered creating content for Reddit or LinkedIn? Obviously you created this post, but I mean educating others about what you're working on? My network is a huge piece of my career now, if I'm looking for a job I'm not applying places because I get a lot of inbound opportunities. It's tangential to work and will help you in your career (As long as you're not in finance or some other industry where people don't talk about their work).

I do post alot of random stuff on twitter and sometimes LinkedIn as well

I am considering to make content on what I am working on (atleast on streams I do show what Im doing to the few viewers I get)

Might consider posting on reddit too but not LinkedIn for explaining what I'm doing (since there are some real assholes in my university and I don't think I want them to know what I'm doing in work)

(Also would it be possible for to send some opportunities to apply to? My career path sure is going to be in the ML development industry and later on to academia)

Sure. If I see another MLE role I can share.. they always ask if I know anyone.

Aye thats going to help me out alot

Also which subreddits would you recommend me for posting about what I am doing? I guess writing blogs on medium is one way (Also I started to maintain a log book for my on-going project, though still local) On LinkedIn, its more like just normal text posts which I don't think is possible to do on reddit.
