Not for top AI talent. That starts at $400k/yr
- shanghaiaway 8y agoHope they save because "AI" won't be hot past 2020.
- throwaway84742 8y agoAu contraire, my friend, it’s only in the beginning of an upward hockey stick.
- derefr 8y agoYou mean because it'll take all our jobs, including programming AI? ;)
- piqalq 8y agoWhat makes you think that? Media? What are you including under the umbrella of AI? ML, Deep Learning? Are you in the industry?
- shanghaiaway 8y agoWhat industry?
- piqalq 8y agoAI
- shanghaiaway 8y agoI sell AI robots and its bullshit
- piqalq 8y agoAh, different use case then as opposed to using AI or ML for drug discovery. I agree, robots are hit and miss
- Kiro 8y agoI will make sure to revisit this comment in 2020.
- majidazimi 8y agoAI won't disappear definitely. However, more graduates will enter market as we move forward. Thus there will be more supply than demand which leads to drop in salaries. This has happened in many markets in recent years. Don't you recall big data hype around 2007? You would be considered as God if you can barely install Hadoop back then.
- throwaway84742 8y agoCompetent big data folks still pull down $300-400k fairly easily. I’m talking about people who _really_ understand the field and have a track record, not “graduates with a degree”.
- autokad 8y agostarts at 400k? where do you get that number? I can imagine a director 3 type position, which would be true for most fields. But interviewing, talking with recruiters, and looking at salaries on glass door, facebook pays a median 130k. Amazon pays closer to the 100k side with a maximum of 165k, an absolute ceiling that shall not be passed. There is stock, but even being equal to base, still no where near a starting 400k
- skj 8y agoSomeone coming in as a research scientist (ie, the people that would have become professors) is going to be making more.
- throwaway84742 8y agoWe pay this much to strong PhDs with a good publication record. So do Google and FB. Must be able to code really well, though.
