If you're on H1B you can change employers, SF would definitely have a lot of companies willing to make this happen.

Yes, I know. I'm in my last years of my H1B, meaning my GC application is underway, and I'm ....But more than that, it's the very thing that I'm unable to spend time on items that I love to work with, and even if I did there are >10,000s of folks with the exact same experience, so I'm not sure how I'd land a job in those areas. . .

Not applying is the surest way not to get the ml job. Or try switching roles within the same company?

If you find the time you can do an online masters in Machine Learning from Georgia Tech for around $7k. You can hack on your own projects and build credentials.

Some companies might be willing to sponsor the OCMS course.

Thanks, I'm already pursuing my masters in OMSCS. This is my second year.
