Would like to solicit blind crowd source opinions on what my next move should be.
T+0: BS grad in engineering field (not CS)
T+5: Finished PhD in engineering (not CS). Job prospects suck. Worked as researcher in academia. Self taught myself ML and DL.
T+8: Landed first tech job at MSFT at L63.
T+10: Today. Doing well TC $260k. Usually 120% rewards. Still L63 though...
I'm stronger in research/science than in software engineering, but I've been learning more engineering skills in the past few months.
What should my next step be if I want to maximize TC?
- Gain more experience to be "full stack" ML scientist/engineer, can do basic research to deploying models at scale?
- Be engineering manager?
- Move into SWE space? I find that ML is being commoditized more and more.
- Move out of ML? I feel that is a bubble. But which field/specialty should I move into?
Want to see the real deal?

So this means demand for SWE will rise relative to ML people. You need devs to make the software to sell ML as a service. So what do ML scientist do?
why do you think ML is a bubble though?
