Don't the various corporate pure-ish research labs require a masters these days? The ones that may or may not work on things that turned into products? Or do the need a PhD ?
I can see a lot of people wanting the job of "play with cool toys and don't be responsible for products", especially as a mid-career transition.
- elefanten 5y agoBroadly that’s PhD level. At companies actually doing cutting edge it’s ONLY PhD… especially given that one of their major outputs is academic papers. SeparateLy… I find the same line gets used both for and against this degree: “the Masters is the new Bachelors” FOR: to say the Masters is now the expected baseline — you need it like you used to need a Bachelors. AGAINST: to say it’s already been watered down and/or too much quality variance - that it gives about as much signal as a Bachelors.
