Hey , everyone just graduated from my uni as an AI undergrad . I joined a company as an engineer , working on their AI products and right now I’m thinking that what is exactly the things that make a MLE @ normal company and an MLE @ good startup. Paying well or some big tech - different .

I am calling out folks who have experience in the industry , to tell me pointers , like if you had to look at an MLE and say woah this is hella impressive , what would those things be practically .

At last , the question really is if you had an ai startup , you had to hire a guy who is like 1-2 yr Wrk ex , what should that guy have ? that you would say damnn he is impressive , hiring him this second!!!

Ik I just joined my company but I wanna have a vision and work towards it from this stage .

Appreciate you all !

I don’t have a company. I’m a solo AI researcher. For the past four years, I’ve been learning and building day and night on my own.

What I can tell you is this: after the AI revolution, I don’t think even the giant companies have fully figured out how to measure what is truly impressive anymore. AI is already slowly erasing professions and degrees.

In my opinion, what will matter from now on is not what you know, but what you can build.

So if you want to be impressive, I think you should develop things.

Of course, I don’t own a company and I don’t have a degree. I’m just a guy who does nothing but obsess over AI day and night.
