Hi all, I'm writing a blog post on how new grads or current software engineers can transition into AI engineering and the main thing I'm focusing on is production AI engineering.

There are a lot of people who have been trying to work on AI projects but they are very far from being production-grade. All they do is maybe connect a few APIs with each other, build a UI for it, and call it a day but there's a lot more that goes into production AI engineering and the skills that companies look for. I've been in the AI space for the past 3-4 years. I finished my undergrad a year ago, got into a master's at a very good university, got my first AI internship before I graduated undergrad, and now I've been at a big tech company full time on an AI team for close to a year (while doing my masters).

I know what it took for me to get my first internship. I know what I focused on and learned in my first internship to get into this competitive field early in my career, before having a master's and competing with other people that had master's and PhDs (because on my team I have a bunch of master's and PhDs and I was also told that I was the first undergrad to be in my internship). I also know. Every day, seeing what we need, what we do, and what we focus on when building our production AI systems, I know what the companies are focusing on and I know what works and what doesn't.

Again this is for AI engineering not AI research. The point I'm trying to make is that I'm trying to write a blog post that explains what you need to learn to do production AI and to build production AI systems they could attract employers. It'd be really helpful to have some advice or even to have people review the blog (just so I know that I'm providing good enough value and I'm not biased toward my own limited views).

Hey all,

Been dealing with a dilemma for a few days.

In short:
\- I currently work at a pretty good software company, leading in its field, very influential. Been there 8 months. Got hired as a L2 straight out of undergrad. Got a 12% raise after 5 months working there.
\- I make a pretty good salary compared to the average (I make CAD112K base in mtl and I graduated a year ago)
\- they also pay 30% of my masters which is about CAD10K
\- got all that good RRSP matching benefits blabla
\-5 days WFH

Now the dilemma is I love what I do. I genuinely enjoy my job I think it’s cool af and I’m proud of what I’m building and the amount of ownership I have on my project. Team is great, manager is great, project is great, company is great, trajectory great.
…… BUT about a week ago, I had a SF startup headhunt me about a position which could pay 190-220K USD. I hadn’t thought of leaving at all before this. But this startup is hiring and they saw that I am currently working on a problem they’re currently dealing with and they read some of my blogs / posts on LinkedIn so they reached out….

Now idk if I should stay where I am where I’m in a good established company and know I have good trajectory OR leave for a seed stage SF startup that would pay 2.5-3x more but 5 days a week in office and probably high stress work environment..

If I were later in my career and had more experience to back me up if all else failed then I’d go to the startup for sure.. but with less than a year experience, idk if this is risky.. leaving big tech company with good name for SF startup.

What if I get fired in a year? Recruiters will see that I left the big company early ..

But also what if I make good connections in SF?

My dream has also been to start my own startup so … I feel like I’d get a lot of experience there..

What should I do?

Help :) thanks
