Myself and many people I know bootstrapped technical PhD (earning potential in postdoc = $45k) into data science/ML jobs (100k+) using Coursera, textbooks etc.

Can you elaborate on what "bootstrapped technical PhD into data science/ML jobs" means? Because to me it sounds like you got a higher paying job because of your PhD, not because of the Coursera stuff.

I think he means he has a non-CS PhD, and coursera gave him enough CS background to pass a job interview.
