I don't have an academic degree. @ilyasut has a PhD (though dropped out of high school!). We do not select on the basis of academic credentials, but on evidence of exceptional ability.

will you hire someone experienced in ML and MLops as a team lead but without any academic degree? If you do, I will be happy to apply to you. P.S. I'm not afraid of being rejected in an interview but not having an academic degree, I think it is not a proper cause.

It’s easy to hire on evidence of exceptional ability, close to 0 risk It is remarkable to take a risk with people in the phase they are developing their skills and help them reach their potential Every mindful company should aim to do this in a certain %
