I know I said that prompt engineering isn't going to be a "job", but rather it's going to be a skill that people use within their jobs to do more, and do it faster.

But maybe I'm wrong...

Anthropic, one of the biggest companies in the AI space and the creator of the Claude models, is hiring Prompt Engineers. In fact, they have a whole section for Prompt Engineering-related jobs on their hiring website:

Here's the two Prompt Engineering roles they're hiring for:

Here's the description for the Prompt Engineering Manager position:

Oh and here's the pay (🤯):

There's also this position under the separate "Research" category (shoutout to a student taking this course, Catherine, for pointing it out!):

Here's the job description:

And of course, here's the pay:

So...maybe I'm wrong? Maybe Prompt Engineering will be a career itself. I think this is just an example of there being some specialized roles that involve full-time prompt engineering, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see where things go in the future. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is learn about LLMs and become great at prompt engineering so that we can set ourselves up for success both now and in the future!

If you want you can even follow Alex Albert on Twitter, one of Anthropic's working Prompt Engineerings (where he's quite active).

While we're at it I also recommend following Ethan Mollick on Twitter. He is a Professor at Wharton that studies AI and innovation, and he's almost like a Professor of Prompt Engineering.

Alright, let's keep going. I'll see you in the next lesson.
