Yes, 1000%. Especially when it comes to AI. Meta has an excellent team of ML engineers, many of whom are in exceptionally high demand right now. If I were a ML engineer at Facebook, _especially_ if I was working remotely, I'd be sending out a ton of applications right now. I bet they end up getting an easier, more meaningful, higher paying job.

I'm an AI research engineer who was recently laid off and this was my experience.

They won't.

But not from Facebook? They are very well compensated right now; they aren't just going to drop into a better paying role.

FAANGs aren’t anywhere near the high end of the ML job market currently.

Is this comment speaking from personal experience? Meta pays much more than any other FAANG. E.g. Know someone who's openai offer (2x Google) was matched by meta.

What's the difference between an ML engineer and an AI research engineer ?

ML engineers work on products, AI research engineers work for AI research labs.

Skillset is almost identical, biggest difference is having research experience.

The first ships products. The second is the code monkey to the statistician.
