I’m at the mid level with about 4 yoe. For the last year, I’ve in an MLOps role with some regular backend development mixed in. I’m not building/deploying machine learning models, but I’m helping build the infrastructure needed to deploy them, so its served as a good introduction to the world of ML/AI in general.
Given how things are right now with AI it seems like a good place to be.
However, I recently received an offer from a small company in desperate need of full stack engineers, and the salary is far higher than I expected. About 50% more than my current salary.
I’m motivated to follow the money, but I do have an interest in shifting into ML engineering someday. Since AI roles are extremely difficult to come by now, I worry that leaving this role will make any chance of landing a genuine AI/ML in the future at a larger company very slim.
Plus, there’s also the whole “AI will replace mid level coders” thing to worry about.
Would welcome any advice.
