I bet you'll get bored of project manager too. Will probably be novel for a year or so but then get boring.

Are there jobs that hire machine learning professionals without PhDs? I think the field is pretty specialized and not something you can just 'get into'. Could be wrong on that.

Going backend would really bump up your skill. I'm back end and you can go super deep into the stack i.e. all the way to the hard ware.

There's IoT, robotics, data science, cloud engineering, back end web dev, etc.

And it's a good combination with front end.

Or go hard core front end and get in 3d animation, interactive media, and make super cool and advanced front end shit.

I have the opposite problem, I have too much stuff I want to do.

What kind of backend development do you currently practice? Language? Stack?

I'm like half web/half cloud. Python/PHP/Java. Languages kind of blur together after a while it's all just semantics, unless you get into FP stuff like Erlang.

Worked on Projects in Laravel. Worked on AWS Serverless apps with Python. Currently working on a Spring Boot Java app.

I got K8's certified and I'm learning Rust, so I will look for those two in my next position. I think those are the stacks of the future.

If you've ever worked with AWS/EC2 and then try out k8's the change is a breath of fresh air.

Also, Rust has no garbage collection and is blazing fast and can also transpile to web assmebly? Yes please.

I personally think the stack of the future is K8's/Rust/Svelte.
