Ask HN: 全力投入 AI 浪潮,还是享受为人父母的乐趣?

4作者: pratchett7 天前
经过多年奋斗,我和妻子最近终于决定要个孩子。我期待着能花更多时间陪伴她,同时也能朝九晚五地工作。然而,人工智能的浪潮似乎是一个稍纵即逝、千载难逢的机会。现在我正在考虑,是否应该全身心投入其中,即使这意味着要牺牲陪伴家人的时间? 备选方案: 1) 加入一家人工智能初创公司 2) 创办一家人工智能初创公司 3) 留在目前的大公司 我在目前的工作中收入颇丰,而且我对所做的工作充满热情。随着人工智能的兴起,似乎有很多出色的基础设施、数据流动和算法挑战摆在面前。然而,很明显,选项1和2似乎比一份朝九晚五的工作需要投入更多的时间。 还有财务方面的考量。如果人工智能对软件工程师的就业市场产生重大影响,我未来的薪水可能会大幅下降。也许全身心投入工作3-5年,在短期内赚更多的钱是有意义的?我知道最终能拿到多少钱也存在一定的概率。 有没有其他人也在思考如何应对人工智能浪潮,以及如何全力投入到为人父母的角色中?

After many years of working hard, my wife and I finally decided to have a kid recently. I am looking forward to spending a lot more time with her, while working just a 9-5. However, the AI boom seems like a short-lived, once in a life-time opportunity. Now I am considering if I should dive in fully even if it means sacrificing time with family?<p>Options: 1) Joining an AI startup 2) Founding an AI startup 3) Stay at my big-tech role<p>I make good money at my current role, but I am extremely passionate about the work I do. With the AI boom, there seems to be a lot of great infra, data movement and algorithmic challenges on the table. However, it is also clear that options 1 and 2 seem to require a lot more time commitment than a simple 9-5 job.<p>There are also financial considerations. If AI affects the SWE job market in a meaningful way, my future salary will be drastically low. Maybe it makes sense to devote myself to work for 3-5 more years and make a lot more money in the short term? I understand that there is also some probability associated with the final amount I walk away with.<p>Any others thinking about how to approach the AI boom vs leaning in fully to parenthood?
