The market is willing to pay machine learning experts 250k + because they bring in multiple of 250k in value. If not, no one would be paying such an amount just because machine learning is hard. If that is the case, astro physicists should be among the highest earners in the world. Much more than your NFL stars.
- TuringNYC 10y agoBy the way, our startup is a machine learning startup. We are pre-profit because we're still in the midst of a parallel medical trial of our diagnostic classifier. We are on venture funding so do not pay market wages. Instead I tend to personally hire new grads and train them. I hire pricey ML experts only as short-term consultants when we need. Our startup economics do not support wages above ~140k/yr which is why I go through all this trouble. But i'm honest -- it is because we cannot afford market wages, not because there is a shortage. Just because our budget cannot hire a market rate experienced hire. I've enjoyed our discussion very much. I'd love to offer you a job for sub-market wages :-)
