If he's actual top talent as opposed to a poseur who's good at self-promotion, he should stay in academia for his own sake because he'll be crushed in the corporate world. Actual high IQ people get clobbered in corporate, while OKR-ing charlatans climb the ranks effortlessly... yes, even at FAANGs.

First I've heard of him tbh.
I'm not aware of anything he's accomplished but can see the delusion. ML people seem to think the output of their work is not mediocre. Yeah, you bred monkeys till something resembling shakespeare appeared to some reproducible consistency and it is better than something someone can code - but that's an incredibly low bar.
Acknowledge that were still very much in the stone age of AI and what were doing is large scale analytics at best.
Oof
Have you seen his previous employment though?
He's exposed to enough corporate work. https://www.linkedin.com/in/evjang/
If he doesn't like this place, he can just make another post like this and I am sure ML startup CEO and ML division heads will be flooding his inbox.

Academia will be difficult for him as he does not have a PhD.
What makes you think academia is any different?

It probably isn't as bad as the corporate world, but I'd be curious to hear why you think academia is impure in this way.
