@bashifuirkashi: Most software engineers are making one of three mistakes. 1. They think they need another degree before they can apply for AI engineering roles. 2. They underestimate how valuable their existing software engineering experience already is. 3. They know AI is changing the industry but keep telling themselves they'll learn it "later." The difference between the engineer staying comfortable and the one targeting $200k+ isn't talent. It's the decision to stop waiting and start moving. The goal isn't to start over. The goal is to reposition your experience, fill the AI-specific skill gaps, build production projects, and become competitive for AI engineering roles. If you've been stuck at the same salary for years, the biggest risk isn't learning AI. It's waiting too long to start. Link in bio on TikTok for the roadmap & project resources
