I’m finishing a bachelor’s in computer science with a linguistics minor in around 2 years, and am considering a master’s in computational linguistics afterwords.
Ideally I want to work in the NLP space, and I have a few specific interests within NLP that I may even want to make a career of applied research, including machine translation and text-to-speech development for low-resource languages.
I would appreciate getting the perspectives of people who currently work in the industry, especially if you specialize in MT or TTS. I would love to hear from those with all levels of education and experience, in both engineering and research positions.
1. What is your current job title, and the job title you had when you entered the field?
2. How many years have you been working in the industry?
3. What are your top job duties during a regular work day?
4. What type of degree do you have? How helpful has your education been in getting and doing your job?
5. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your job?
6. What is your normal work schedule like? Are you remote, hybrid, or on-sight
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Added questions about job titles and years of experience to the list, and combined final two questions about work schedules.
