Sorry this is off topic.

Is there a way into machine learning without doing going and going an Ms or PhD?

Im working my way through a coursera course on it but I'm not sure that is enough. All the positions I see are looking for academic experience or 5+ years doing it. Neither of which are doable for me.

Re:How Duolingo got 110M users on Thursday March 03, 2016 @02:23PM (#11219282)

I want to like Duolingo more but I don't understand how you can work your way through the course if your keyboard doesn't have foreign characters on it. I tried to get into learning Russian briefly but gave up on the first 20 minutes as I kept failing the tasks that requires me to type Russian characters.

Was I doing it wrong?

Ask HN: Transition from programming to finance

Posted by Mickchicken2 on Thursday February 11, 2016 @06:24PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Does anyone here on HN have any experience of transition from a job in tech to a finance position? If so how did you do it?I am currently a professional software engineer, but the longer i do it the more uninterested in the field i become. I have always been very interested in banking, finance and investing in general, so i am considering making a move in that directionthanks

If you could make it so when ever company X is hiring one or more staff you could share the location of these hires in the link. I would appreciate it thanks.
