Thank you. All very astute comments that resonate. Regarding politics, I definitely don't get phased by it. I understand this is something to contend with in any large org, when faced with finite resources and subjective goals. My last few papers could have been the foundation for major first-of-a-kind features in my companies products. The sad reality I have recently accepted is that getting the feature into product is less about technical excellence or market appreciation, and more about where the innovation is coming from (i.e. specific product group). Out of 6 areas my research lab works on (I lead one), only 1 of the six has had a product impact (not the one I lead).

There are definitely cloud/AI/vision system data scientist jobs at Amazon and AWS that are going unfilled. Your description sounds like you could be a Principal scientist in a role like that, either working on warehouse management systems, the Amazon Go store technology, automated last-mile delivery systems, most anything to do with Ring cameras, and so forth. As I see it, the biggest problem might actually be the salary. I think matching $350K might be a challenge, even for Amazon, unless you land in a senior VP type of role. I would try again at Amazon, if you're willing to work for them. And if you can't find anything through obvious public channels, I'd be happy to do some research and see if there's anything where I can provide you a referral. Our own group is hiring in the Seattle, Austin, and Atlanta areas, but it's mostly SDEs, TPMs, etc.... I don't know that we have any data scientist type positions open. Good luck!
