Absolutely true.
I have several friends who are machine learning practitioners. Many are actively looking to get out. When you strip away the hype and BS the demand in London is very thin.
- tixocloud 7y agoThere are likely very specific areas where ML can have a real impact and other areas that are nice, interesting but not really priority. From my experience, a large part of the demand also needs to be driven by the AI and ML execs' ability to sell to the business.
- goatinaboat 7y agoIf you have deep domain knowledge already then ML skills are the icing on the cake. But opportunities for those with just the ML part are minimal.
- tixocloud 7y agoAgreed - many folks discount deep domain knowledge which is, my opinion, a mistake.

- shrikant 7y agoIn my experience, this is usually because they realise that applying sexy algorithms and generating magic earth-shattering insights is about 2% of the job, and the rest is "boring" stuff like automation, data cleansing, performance at scale, and building and maintaining discipline around sound development practices. Edited to add: this isn't a diss on them or this phenomenon in general -- it keeps me employed :)
