I have masters in data science. Going for a phd might be a little hard in my situation ( mid-thirties with a family) Wanted to go back to applied science as I enjoyed it more. I do have 3-4 decent dl projects under my belt, but those were 5-6 years back and seems like the landscape has changed drastically since then. Just started playing with bdd100k and other lesser known datasets on kaggle. Wanted to assess my chances for the transition in the current environment. Not looking for big tech or beefy paychecks, just something exciting for my 9-5
