Reply to comment by 99posse in [D] life advice to relatively late bloomer ML theory researcher. by notyourregularnerd

Would you actually be retired tho? 250k for 4 years is 1m and in 10 you got 2.5m (of course you will get taxed to hell) cutting you down to ~~1m. Sure its good money but not enough to retire on.

Not just with that, but take a look at levels.fyi and check how much a 1-level advantage at Google or Meta gives you as you progress (the 250K/year I mentioned is just comparing MS + 4Yrs to PhD)
