What kind of projects recruiter would expect in resume for data science or MLE job?
MLE is a combination of seasoned software engineer that can understand ML well enough to productionize ML projects. If you have neither ML nor strong engineering and/or architecture fundamentals now, it's going to be about 8 years in real scenarios to get the experience to be truly effective. Data scientist is the most fluid role in the industry with little agreement on responsibilities and experience.
