Worked in ai/ml medical research first 5.6/6 years. Been working with bah since. Earn about 107k. Trying to plan how to proceed in the coming future

I think you might be overpaid

In Europe that's a great salary

In my experience, the vast majority of people working in "AI/ML" dramatically overstate their qualifications and impact and simply are not worth their salt.

No one can tell you whether you're under or overpaid from this post alone.

For all we know, AI/ML in your role means random forests over just a couple million rows of data with no work that actually ends up in production systems.

Or, you in theory do check all the right boxes for high paying roles (ML complexity, production impact, resilient system design), but the details show that the work is shoddy or simply moves slow. I've worked with horror stories of external partners who claim to work on "AI cloud for dEeP lEaRnInG" and the applications they build are crap, and they deliver bug fixes in 3 month release cycles, in which case I have zero doubt that they are overpaid even if they're making half my TC.
