Same here - did the grind for a few years then went straight to big tech. I got offers from the full set of FAANG. I still have a disdain for code monkey work as a job (I really think its practically unskilled labour). I had studied ML to a fairly high level, so landing gigs was easy. Not to mention the money is so much better.
