Machine Learning - Discover the Top 3 Career & Earnings Growth Strategies for 2025

Dev Colleagues, on average a Machine Learning Engineer earns $167k USD in the US according to Glassdoor. The first strategy is to Get Certified: A high quality credential from a reputable vendor or professional association can boost your income by 10%+. Topping our list is the popular Supervised Machine Learning: Regression and Classification program with some 814k students enrolled. Next is the Structuring Machine Learning Projects (481k enrollees). Third is the Convolutional Neural Networks program from DeepLearning.AI (526k enrolled). Second, Get Published: Write a series of posts or articles on Best Practices, Industry Trends and Emerging Technologies, and publish on DevPlan’s GCP portal, Medium, LinkedIn Articles, Reddit or Technology.org. Then reate a “project portfolio” on GitHub or LinkedIn that showcases your hands-on expertise. A high quality portfolio proves your expertise to future employers and gives you a competitive advantage over other job candidates. Then reate a “project portfolio” on GitHub or LinkedIn that showcases your hands-on prowess. A high quality portfolio proves your expertise to future employers and gives you a competitive advantage over other job candidates. And third, Get Connected: Professional networking and referrals are the most effective method for landing your dream job - within your current employer or at a new company (rather than simply applying for jobs online and standing in the Human Resources queue with the masses). Join and participate in 2-3 high profile groups or professional associations. Hugging Face is an excellent starting place. Consider the Machine Learning Society on LinkedIn. And explore Reddit’s Machine Learning sub-Reddit (2.9m members)
