By the way, our startup is a machine learning startup. We are pre-profit because we're still in the midst of a parallel medical trial of our diagnostic classifier. We are on venture funding so do not pay market wages. Instead I tend to personally hire new grads and train them. I hire pricey ML experts only as short-term consultants when we need.

Our startup economics do not support wages above ~140k/yr which is why I go through all this trouble. But i'm honest -- it is because we cannot afford market wages, not because there is a shortage. Just because our budget cannot hire a market rate experienced hire.

I've enjoyed our discussion very much. I'd love to offer you a job for sub-market wages :-)
