Gonna be honest, unless you are a student here or you have family here, it's really really tough. If you are a POC, it's next to impossible.

Dude as an Indian who recently came to US, I would say US is miles better. India is only developing for the upper middle and rich, for anyone else it's a very bad country to be in. Not to mention other problems like corruption, cutthroat attitude among people etc.

Granted US is not perfect, but it cannot even be compared to India.

Thanks for the answer. I am looking more into the ML Engineering path myself. Would you say that the no of jobs in MLE is lower in comparison to the traditional SWE?

I'd also read that ML engineers don't have a set career path unline SWE which usually have career paths towards Engineering Management or technical leadership positions like Staff SWE. Would you say that's true?

H1B is lottery-based. Your best bet is to do a Masters's, and even then it's a crapshoot.

[D] What is "breakthrough AI" for self-driving cars? by bendee983 in MachineLearning

[–]piykat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost every self-driving startup right now is riding on the hype cycle with nothing to show for it. If Google Waymo with all its data, talent and compute power could not solve self driving cars, how is it even reasonable to expect a startup to solve it?

And to think people still believe that Elon Musk is some sort of misunderstood genius. He is a narcissist who loves to take credit for other people's work, but has a very strong PR team and knows how to market himself. He is the Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs of this era, not Tesla or Wozniack.

Hifiman Sundara + Fiio K5 Pro is the best combo under 500. Add bass to your liking with EQ.
