Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes.
