I think it's more likely because PhDs in AI/Ml are extremely expensive to hire. A PhD in AI generally does more than string together pytorch and tensorflow.

Maybe in US? PhD AI/ML hire in UK is ~£33k salary.

An AI PhD from a reasonable university will easily make 200k + at SV companies

Again, in US? I'm from a Russell Group uni, so are friends. Most I've heard of is 37 from a friend that spent over 3 months applying and did some hard negotiating. Can you give some example companies hiring with this salary in UK? I'd be genuinely interested, as I believe would many friends/colleagues.

In the US, though I imagine DeepMind and FAIR pay a lot more than 37k pounds in the UK too

[drdunce]

I don't think it's quite 200k and I wouldn't describe getting into DeepMind as easy

[wittycardio]

Don't think it's easy but yeah those are the kinds of places that would pay 200k in the US
