Curious why and how you did the transition? Rapid progress in this space I don't think SWE is a viable career for next 20 years.

- extasia 3y agoI felt that my software work in the gambling industry wasn't aligned with my ethical beliefs (also family member with gamba addiction..) I really enjoyed the research I did in my undergraduate degree (Physics) and so when my partner suggested I apply to the doctoral training program (it's called a CDT in England) it was sort of a no brainer to shoot my shot - the project sounded interesting and the course was designed for those coming from industry. tl;dr opportunity came up and I jumped ship from SWE to ML research.
