I flunked out of college and am in a ML role
I can think of a few college dropouts who were pretty damn successful….
The job market is worst now. May be that's one reason
I think this is the reason
I went to Michigan.
Go blue!
It’s about proof of usefulness l. No public facing portfolio, no brand name FAANG or at least a tier 2 consulting group would be some factors that make it harder, not impossible
I’m a high school drop out, pretty sure I’ll nail it without a degree. I started tech a year ago

Start your own thing with your ML skills the collect stacks of investment cash from the people who can send their kids to top tier schools.
Do you work at Google and you're finding it hard to get ML roles within Google? If you don't have an extensive ML portfolio maybe that's the issue.
Sounds like that’s the problem… you d done some course work and research but you have no practical experience. Try and get some at G by moving around internally to put it on your resume and then move
My friend majored in AI/ML but not from an Ivy. He wasn’t able to get a job with that profile at FAANGs right out of grad school, and instead they would only offer SWE roles. So he took a pay hit by accepting AI roles at two start ups consecutively for three years, built experience and then got into Google for an ML profile.
If that is your worry, just do a 2 week cert from one of those types of universities to get past the filter. If your logic holds, my entire career has been carried by doing a CUDA summer course at Oxford in 2013.
At FAANG, I’m sure it’s more difficult. I work in a ML engineering role and I went to a no name college in Louisiana. I landed the role via internal mobility - I essentially got poached by a leader in the, then growing, Data Science org after showing promise while supporting some of their projects (and also indicating that my desire was to work in the Data Science field). Background was as a DevOps / Cloud Engineer, although I had done a lot of self study in Data Science / ML (this was maybe a year and a half before everything became “AI” focused as opposed to straight “ML”) and was able to prove that I deserved the role via several interviews.
Plenty of people from my university went into ML, so no, far from impossible.
Nobody in any of the companies I've worked for cared about the school I went to or my degree. Relevant experience matters much more.
That must mean there are very few ML jobs available or they are not being filled. That is a pretty small candidate pool at the end of the day.
Well, all the good jobs that are not insane are all being gate by other Stanford Gratz I ran into this during the.com boom where are the only jobs I could get where all the crappy ones unless you were a Stanford grad  but keep hammering away you may luck into something.
I have an interview for a data engineer position at Amazon any advise for me please? I really need this
