What is one thing that you would change, by going back in life?

Please mention your generation- GenZ Millennial GenX

I have a hunch there will be patterns emerging here, but let's see how it goes

And no - "my life is perfect" "I wouldn't change a thing" interview fake stuff

Millennial - I’d wanna go back to school days and learn extra curriculars seriously- indian classical dancing, learning an instrument, get skilled at one sport, probably swimming. As I’m entering my 30s now, I see people (and me) have everything- job/work/partying. But people don’t have a life outside of it to do things they like - probably because we were told to spend all time studying. These extra interests I feel really are needed for a balanced life - watching Netflix and partying is just lazy

This is true true.
Similar story, I had crazy love for Western dance, and parents put me in Classical ones - singing and dance. I obviously performed bad, teachers got disappointed. Tried martial arts, sports. Years later I know for sure, if there's one thing I have to have is dance πŸ’ƒ

So true. My parents never let me join any hobby as it would affect my studies. Now that I have a job, it's difficult to manage everything. But still I have managed to join dance and a sport on weekends. But gets pretty hectic as there are no rest days for me now. Guess you cannot have it all!

The decision to not continue PhD in the lab where I did my master's. I was doing M.S in ML in a top 10 school for CS and published 2 papers based on my thesis. The professor was impressed and offered me a PhD. position, which I foolishly didn't accept. The reason was simple and very short sighted, cause that RA position was paying peanuts (24k $ ) and I just went with a regular job. Now with the AI boom, and I regret not taking up that opportunity and getting a doctorate

Would that have actually helped? If you already have a Ms in CS from a t10 and good credentials you could probably land most of the research roles? Or is PhD a mandate?

Yes, PhD would have undoubtedly helped but depends on context. I can land Applied Scientist roles in companies like Amazon, which doesn't require a phd or publications. On the other hand, it's very hard to move up or get a Research scientist roles in OpenAi / Google brain or FAIR (Meta) as they mainly prefer PhDs with lot of publications in top avenues like NeurIPS as the actual roles involves publishing papers. However, it's possible to land engineer roles with connections and papers, but I heard it's very hard to get promoted without a PhD.

However, you can land the ML engineers or ML infra roles even without a degree in FAANG, just not able to get "RS" tag

I remember one thing which I should have done.

Maybe I should have eaten a lot more almonds in my childhood to improve my memory. Currently it’s very bad and I have a habit of forgetting things very soon.
Btw, GenZ here.

Yeh kaisa trick question hai?

Go back - slap my kid self - mine/trade crypto.

Everything else is an stupid response unless it's hug mom/dad/grandma more before they pass away.

From a GenZ. AMA!

I'll be happy to answer any questions about GenZ!

GenZ are the most diverse generation (accelerated by growing up with the internet since we were 4 years old) and you cannot generalise by saying 'this is genz' because no matter what, no...

Is it just me or you'll think that our millennial's adult life is hard compared with all these generations.
