Hey, has anyone on here made the move from Trading to Data Science/machine learning engineer at any of the big firms? I'm currently on options trader but feel unfulfilled with my job so have started doing Machine learning courses by myself and not sure how much experience is required to land a job at let's say Google/FB/etc.
Obviously I have no high level experience in coding and Machine learning.

Just curious if anyone has made the move successfully.

      I was building DL/shallow ML models for a year. I'm doing more MLops stuff now and building ML infrastructure. It's not a big tech company so pay is gonna be lower for sure.

  • Would love to hear your experience of working as a trader? I was consider apply for a trader position as I’m interested but have heard some negative reviews and I’m confused.

    Thinking of quitting engineering to become a trader lol. Trade stocks successfully but wanna play with options. Should I start with selling credit spreads?
