      @@exxhaustive_ companies (i.e. executives) will just throw around the buzzword for the day. It was digital/cryptocurrencies a few years back, and then NFTs (or any combination of words to describe as such) with no knowledge of how they work, with the intent of just gaining fast bucks and to look relevant. A.I. (and many of its subset terminologies) is the current buzzword used, with them using the term liberally to typically cover up other cost-cutting exercises... with no real intention of implementing said buzzwords (of late, some companies are mandating return to office for their workers, and those that do not comply are let go. Publicly the reduction of staffers were said to be a step towards "A.I. implementation" which wasnt really the case as shared by insiders at the time.).
      TL;DR: SOME companies sometimes dont know what they want, and are just vomiting out terminologies. When you are someone with experience within your relevant industry you can sort of smell out the bullshit.

    I hold a Master’s in AI. I struggled to find an internship to complete my degree. I have been working for 6 months and most of the jobs in Canada required 3+ years of experience. It’s like there are almost no junior roles.

      it's the same in the SW industry. The nature of the industry (fast paced, competitive, investors wanting a quick return on their investment) means hiring companies need skilled guys, who can work autonomously. That leaves little room for juniors. "junior" in a job ad means "low pay", not beginner. So, one needs to find ways to get the skills and confidence needed (side projects, etc....)

      Well, this has been the case with most IT jobs since I remember (30 years in IT). If you really, really want the job, try another country with less pay, say India, or Mexico. You will actually enjoy the change of climate and culture. Otherwise, learn what the main tasks you need to perform are, then create at least 4 projects that showcase your ability to perform the tasks. Make sure they are well documented and can be demoed - recording a short demo and posting it on your TH-cam channel will go a long way. And remember, your hands-on experience is worth ten times the degree you have. And who knows, you may actually monetize one of those project and start a company around it. Then you will be hiring ... eventually :)

    I am a retired "Information and Computer Scientist" (It says that on my diploma). In over 42 years I have been a Compiler Writer to a Space Flight Software tester (think SLS) with side trip into Systems Engineering. I liked what she said. You need one or more degrees with experience. I was Co-Op in school which was help. I always treated AI a side interest but kept my day job. I have lived through the AI Summer-Winter cycles in 1970's and 1980's. So I saw those AI PhDs get jobs and then get laid off. Don't put all your hopes in being an AI only person.

It felt like we became work buddies because of that. But even with us getting along so well, he gave me a massive list of stuff I need to get a grip on before I can even start shadowing an ML engineer.
    Being senior means I’m already juggling a ton trying to stay on top of my own field (cloud security for me), not to mention being involved in big projects and the usual day-to-day work.
    Now, I kinda feel like I’m whining because getting a shot like this is rare, but honestly, the list was so long, it would’ve messed with my main job. I’m still tossing it around in my head, but I really love cybersecurity. Maybe I just like it more than ML, you know?

    Getting hired as ML engineer is very difficult because companies want to pay high salary for engineers who have deep knowledge with years of experience in the field and these people are hard to find. So companies are picky and it is so hard to pay you high salary while you are still learning about the field and never had built something advanced. BY THE WAY, there are no openings for juniors in AI space. If you are junior they will hire you to do some data analysis for AI projects but you won't work as ML engineer.

    Thanks for sharing this information! I am a freshman at UW Seattle studying computer science and interested in AI/ML engineering. However, I observed that the AI/ML class taught at UW is very theoretical, requires much math and statistics, and teaches nothing about the application. Other students who have taken the class have also suggested I not take it if my focus is to get into the industry instead of research. After watching your video, I think that I should take online AI/ML courses that place more emphasis on the ML application and start doing side project that uses ML, so when I graduate in 3 years(I am almost junior standing), I will be a full stack software engineer with some knowledge of ML. Then, I can build up ML experience during work and transition towards AI/ML engineering. My questions are 1. Do you think it's a plausible career path? 2. If the goal is to become an AI/ML engineer, should I choose AI/ML or software engineering as my area of focus when I pursue a master's degree(a part-time program offered by UW)?

    According to this person, if you have no experience in ML/AI and you want a job in the sphere, you should get a full stack role first to get experience. I assure you this will have a very marginal effect on landing real AI engineering jobs if that's what you want. The ROI is barely there. Instead, you should forget about full stack roles and dive deep into AI/ML education/hands-on engineering of ML solutions, get a master's or a phd around the topic.

    So I’m about to begin my masters of computer science. I’ve been looking at the degree routes and I’m interested in the AI/ML specialization route. I’m currently working as a system/software developer at a school district with nearly a year of experience after graduating with my bachelors in IT. Should I just go the software developer route and break into AI? I’ve looked at roles such as computer vision engineer, and AI developer. But a lot of them do require that 5-8+ years of experience of programming and usually in the tech industry. While I would like to break into the world of ML/AI I think it’d benefit me more to specialize in software development with my masters. So then I’m not so sure if trying to specialize in AI/ML with a masters would be worth it if I end up working as a software engineer? I’m going to try one of the AI foundations classes out and see how I feel about it.

However, theres a lot of manual work for me and I can see even mid level data analysts in my team are kinda doing the same work. Ive discovered I really enjoy writing code, and ai has always been very appealing to me. I'm considering applying for an Msc in either ai,ds, or cs starting next year in order to be a data scientist or even a regular sw engineer, but that could mean potentially leaving my current role.

Also, having a startup projects doesn't count as a work experience but will instead put a dull impression that this person owns a startup so why should I hire him bcoz they will either left the firm and invest in their own startup after some yrs of experience or either they will think u have left the startup due to losses and want to do job now. Also, IIT is nothing in the USA and many hirers don't even know what IIT so they are considered as average as other people unless u have a masters from a tier 1 or IVY college of US. I would suggest u to apply from the US for remote jobs as lots of US companies are doing it for cost cutting and in that part ur profile may be outperforming and that IIT tag would also help.
