Definitely don't regret it because I'm more interested in the engineering problems around ML rather than research and I don't want to spend that long working on ML anyway. It gets boring after a few years.
If you want to do research, and want to work somewhere prestigious, and plan to do it for a long time, then doing a PhD makes a lot of sense.
- scoobitydoobap 4y agoThis sums up my experience exactly. I technically work in ML and do build (fairly basic, compared to things like ChatGPT) ML models, but the engineering – specifically as it relates to _data_ engineering – is much more interesting to me. Additionally, the whole process of building a product around models is, again, much more interesting to me than figuring out the best algorithm to use. Economics & stats background. Bachelor's only.
