> Why not try applying for some full remote positions at FAANGs or whatever big tech employers you have in your area?

Machine learning-focused jobs at FAANG seem harder to get than regular "software engineer" ones, especially in computer vision. I don't want to stop learning by switching early to a remote coding job.

I'd be looking more at startups and corporate labs that do interesting work and don't require a PhD, but that requires skills I'm learning in my current job.
