Not Fast.ai, but I self-studied ML during undergrad (mostly from books) and am currently working as an ML research scientist.

That being said, I'm also thinking about starting an ML PhD because it does honestly open more doors to top research groups.

ML PhD because it does honestly open more doors to top research groups

Correction: not ML PhD by itself - publications in top conferences open doors. Looking at the acceptance rates, I'm guessing most people with ML PhDs don't have such publications.
