Is there a lot of opportunity in CS research? What roles would that entail?
- tombert 5y ago> Is there a lot of opportunity in CS research? No, I don't think so, and I don't think they pay terribly well. I just got accepted into a PhD program, which will take me 5-6 years to complete, so I'm hoping that will qualify me for the roles that do exist, and get something approaching a decent salary in the process. > What roles would that entail? I would ideally like to work entirely on formalization of algorithms, working primarily within Isabelle or Coq or Agda or something like them. I realize those jobs aren't exactly common, but it's at least a goal to work towards.
- oblio 5y ago> get something approaching a decent salary in the process. You weren't getting a decent salary at a FAANG? :-o
- lostmsu 5y agoHe means that he will still get salary when getting his PhD.
- tombert 5y agoI meant getting a decent salary post-PhD doing research actually.
- tombert 5y agoI was (and am) receiving a good salary as a software engineer. I meant to say that I’m hoping to eventually get a research job with a decent salary
