Non-tech MLE vs. FAANG SWE, which one to choose?
What would be a better career choice for a new grad (MSc)?
MLE/AI Scientist @ a non-tech large company VS. SWE @ Google.
Personal interest is in both areas, but AI stuff is obviously the trend now, and I have more experience in that area. On the other hand, having a FAANG company on your resume is always a highlight, and a lot of SWE are doing ML stuff nowadays. Which is better?
TC is similar at the beginning but Google has better career growth potential.
