Definitely doing a PhD is not the best financial decision in the short term, although I think the type of skills you learn and mindset you develop could lead to massive income growth in the long term

agree! I find many people who stopped after they got their BS also have the skills and mindset that lead them to massive growth in the long term, so it's really person-dependent. I, however, did not have the right skills or mindset when I got my BS, so a PhD was definitely helpful for me

It's so dependent on your priorities. I don't think I could have done it another way without knowing what I know now. You can definitely have an amazing career and be extremely successful without the PhD. I'm happy to help you reason through it though if you want to DM me or shoot me an email.

I didn't get a ph.d like you but I recently completed a Masters with 2 research publications... I completely agree with all of your points. Truthfully, with the exception of helping my resume stand out, the Masters degree and research experience didnt help me much in the interview process. Atleast not as much as I wish it did. Although, I'm still firm and glad I made the decision to do my Masters just because of my passion for the field of CS. I really do hope the skills I learned shine later on in my career.

Damn I thought I finally found an electrical engineering KZitem channel. But no harm, I have done internship in software and it's enjoyable and pays nice. I just find electrical quite cool but there's not as much info on it online

Hi! Nice Video. Btw, is a PhD useful for a person looking for a research scientist level position in faang-tier companies or for a quant level position in hedgefunds?

Without going through a Phd, is it possible to learn the type of skills from a Phd, possibly from the mentor or advisor, on your own or at a different setting?

It initially stood for Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google, but now I use it to mean major/prominent tech companies. Nvidia and Microsoft, for instance, I would also consider to be FAANG-tier companies. Other acronyms exist as well, e.g., MANGA, to refer to the same group of companies.

How long does the process take? And how long is it ok to leave them waiting for your decision?
@janpancake

Took me 3 months from the first interview to signing the offer, not including prep time. They gave me 1 week to sign - every offer should come with a deadline, so I guess as long as you "leave them waiting" before the deadline hits, it's okay. If you can't make a decision before the deadline, then it's reasonable to ask for an extension.

Since youve talked to startups and faang alike, do you think that either "culture" gives a PhD more merit just flatout? I am finishing my M.S. in data analytics this semester and I am currently at a start up as a data scientist. Like you mention in this video, you have a broad interest and that is how I feel. Do you think I should pursue a PhD soon or wait a year or two then consider it? Edit : I suppose i should add that I also want to pursue a PhD because I really do enjoy the research and learning aspect of getting a degree, and I would say that being at a startup and working on masters right now has only exaggerated that feeling

If you actually want to do the research and get back into the learning environment, then I'd say to not delay and go for the PhD. Jobs will always be there for you when you want to go back :)
