Common questions.

Slightly less in base, but equity often closes the gap. Consumer AI roles at high-growth companies (Notion, Linear, Granola) often have equity packages worth more than the base over a 4-year vest. Established retail AI roles pay closer to general engineering.

Yes, more than ever. The shift from collaborative filtering to LLM-driven personalization created a new specialty in 2025 to 2026. Engineers who can design personalization with LLM-based scoring plus retrieval are in heavy demand and the supply has not caught up.

Better than most. The core skills (recommendation systems, search ranking, A/B testing at scale, LLM-based product features) transfer cleanly between retail, media, edtech, and gaming. Engineers move between these industries far more than they move between, say, healthcare and defense.
