A story of determination (and perhaps 👍 on ICLR): dude gets rejected from all major PhD programs in ML because of ‘lack of major publications’, decides to grind for 8 months in order to get published in ICLR as an Independent Researcher. He succeeds ☺️ medium.com/@andreas_madse

It was his dream to become a researcher! Different goals for different folks.

No need for PhD to be a researcher. Or better yet, join a company to do research and do PhD part time. Anyway, everyone has different goals and what matters is a person/goal fit!!
