I’ve got a job as a ML Researcher without a degree. I have experience building multimodal generative products. Because I was able to learn on the job at startups. I get to work on the problems of my dreams for the rest of my life now.
10 years ago the only jobs for machine learning were for PhDs at big companies. If you want to join a nascent industry and you’re not a top college graduate you have to find a way in the back door.
Don’t do startups for the money do it for the career growth.
10 years in startups out of college.
Even with two good exits. I didn’t make much money as an early employee, even in success, compared to FAANG peers.
If I went to big companies I most likely end up doing a lot of web development and Im rich off the stock market.
