Comment on Ask HN: Quant researcher vs. ML Engineer

Comments

Relax and pick the one that is the most interesting. With your background, the signal these offers sends, and the high demand for ML workers, you’ll be in a good place either way. It may matter what you want to do long term, they’re different tracks. To me one of these is more unique with a much higher compensation ceiling but only directly “transfers” to other financial firms, whereas the other is more generic and so transfers very well. Every FAANG has one or a few groups like that.
