Post:I’m being very direct here because I’m genuinely looking for honest advice and practical guidance. I’m currently in a situation where I need to find work as soon as possible, but I also don’t want to take a random path that takes me away from the career I actually want. My background is in AI automation and workflow building. I’ve worked on automation projects using n8n, including a blog automation system for a freelance client and a lead generation automation pipeline in my current company. I understand how to build workflows, connect tools, automate processes, and solve business problems through automation. At the same time, I want to be honest about where I stand: I do not come from a strong coding background. I have basic Python knowledge, but I don’t know coding in depth, and I’ve never really enjoyed coding as a main career path. My interest is more in AI automation, workflow systems, business process automation, and using tools to create real business value. That creates a dilemma for me. I’m trying to figure out the smartest path from here: - Should I continue focusing on AI automation roles and keep building my stack? - Should I join an agency or small team to get more real-world exposure? - Should I spend serious time learning coding deeply even though I’m not naturally drawn to it? - Or should I choose a role that keeps me close to automation, business systems, and revenue impact, even if it’s not the exact “AI automation engineer” title? What I’m really looking for is: - Honest mentorship from people who understand this field. - Advice on what kind of job would actually be best for my long-term growth. - Guidance on whether I should prioritize learning more coding, or focus more on business-facing automation roles. - Any work opportunities, freelance projects, or referrals where my current automation skills could be useful.

Hi everyone! I’m a 23-year-old AI Automation Engineer working with low-code platforms. I’ve built a few production-ready multi-workflow systems, but in my current role at a marketing company, I haven’t been able to find the right guidance or technical growth opportunities. I’m now looking for opportunities to work directly on automation projects and learn from experienced professionals in this field. Work hours and salary aren’t my main priorities right now—learning and hands-on experience are. Please let me know if there’s any opportunity or collaboration possible. I’ve attached my CV as well.
