Google Engineer Pivots From Business To AI
|
5.1
Max Buckley, a 38-year-old senior software engineer at Google in Zurich, describes pivoting from a business degree to leading an applied LLM research team after joining Google in 2013. Over several years he completed roughly 40 Coursera courses (2013–2021) and earned multiple part-time credentials, including two master's degrees and a data-science diploma. He says prolonged upskilling helped overcome initial hiring hurdles and shaped his career path.
