With only a BS degree, is it harder to get promoted to senior SWE-ML/MLE than to get promoted to senior SWE (normal)?
“Senior” in terms of pay band. Say 300k.
Don’t know why everyone is saying it’s harder. The question here is about promotion. Generally MS gets you through the door into the company, but once you’re already there, then just build credibility and deliver kick ass value. I can’t think of any good reason why a manager would promote someone based on their degree rather than based on their work at the company.
