Talk

My talk at DSML Meetup is out! I usually get asked what is the difference between ML industry and academia, and why I decided to continue my academic career with Head of ML & AI and CTO experience.

In this talk I highlight the specifics of both sides, covering advantages and drawbacks: financial aspects, personal branding, and how problem-solving approaches differ.

I hope it will be useful for those who can’t decide whether to go for a PhD or focus on building a career in industry.
