Comment on Ask HN: Self Driving Car Engineer Nanodegreeparent

Comments

Hi Dhruv,

What percentage of students who complete the program would you expect to be able to get a job as a Self-Driving car engineer?

Hi wburgo,

It's hard for me to give a number for a few reasons:

1. Not everyone applying actually wants a job. A lot of people are taking this program just out of curiosity and interest. 2. It really depends on where you live. People in the Bay Area, Germany, and the Michigan area are going to be closer to employment opportunities than other.

That being said, we are optimizing the entire program to be such that the projects you create are things that employers want. And we've verified this by building the program with employers from the beginning.

Hi Dhruv, for those who live outside the US and would love to have an opportunity to work in this field is there any way to achieve this after taking the nanodegree? I live in the UK at the moment so what are the chances of getting a job as a Self Driving Car Engineer in the Bay Area? Zero or something better?
