Outside of the valley I imagine this is much different.
Same in NYC and Boston.
and Seattle

$300k. I work at Google, have a few good papers, and a couple years of professional experience, and dropped out of grad school. TBH not really clear that I'm doing much better than peers without ML expertise.
were you doing your master's or your phd when you dropped out. likely phd but just curious

#133Well... I’m going to be the one to say it. Ian Goodfellow is underpaid at 800K.
he's at Google now, probably because they offered him way more

Counterpoint: I'm a data scientist in the Midwest with a non-CS bachelor's degree, earning $125k base.
Do bonuses make that much of a difference in data science?
My post was base. My observation is existence and size of bonus depends critically on industry.

Why did you drop out of grad school?
More importantly, why did I bother to finish grad school?
To not have situations like I did.
I've almost done my masters - I finished all the courses, but did not submit my graduate thesis in time - so I have what we call "absolutorium", i.e. finished the program without pursuing a degree. The other day, a friend from my alma mater wanted me to come and do a semester of programming classes as an "industry consultant". It was all arranged properly and I was getting ready with my lectures when, few weeks before I was supposed to give the first one, I became a political point in inter-faculty negotiations. People from one of the other faculties argued it's disrespectful to allow someone with mere BSc to teach students. Ultimately, my faculty had to let me go.
So yeah, that's the kind of bullshit that having an academic title may help you navigate. Whether or not it is worth the effort to get one is arguable, though.

#138So a tiny handful of top performers - plausibly few enough that you could fit them all on a schoolbus - in an ultra-hot technical field are raking in huge sums, for the moment. Unless you are a top professor at an R1 research university or have a PhD from an R1 university studying under the other top minds in the field or are otherwise in the most elite fraction of the profession, it doesn't sound like this is partic…
No grad school, no papers, 7ish years work experience, 260k base + 100k-ish stock

But, grasshopper, you have not passed the third test. Where is your question?
Haha. I guess if I had to ask any question about python, it would be, "why on earth did they do that ridiculous unicode thing in version 3?" Most builtins should use bytes, and the few that can't should just use bytes annotated with an encoding.
There speaks someone who hasn't spent significant time working with multilingual texts.

That's 800 credit card transactions a second --- thats people making deposits into their accounts to bet with. (btw I think that's peak - I'm not 100% sure) The frontends (where the casino / betting games run) do a lot more than this, but they work against the balance in the account, it's the payment gateway that's doing 800/s
Why does a payment gateway need deep learning? I can't imagine an online betting system doing fraud detection on deposits.
An online betting system has to do fraud detection on a higher level than random merchants, since they can expect to be a target for large scale non-amateur fraudsters, and just as in any other business, if your incoming payments are fraudulent, you lose that money.
