> I’d have a hard time finding a job in ML for $300K

If you have 10 years of experience practicing ML, AmaGoogFaceSoft would be falling over themselves to pay you $300k+ in total compensation.

Whether you'd want to move to SF/NY/Seattle and work for them, though, is another question!

I used to work for them. I still found that I have a $300K ceiling.

That's literally impossible. What level did you get hired at? I'm assuming at least 5 given your background/exp? That's more than 300k EZ unless you're talking about salary only.

Google lvl 5 total comp is ~$320K. So it is pretty close and still less than PHP consulting.

Aren't there ranges within the levels? I know of people receiving offers of more than $320k at T5 and equivalents beyond Google.

Sounds like the banks or hedgefunds may be calling your name, then.
