Currently SDE II at AWS tired of all the grunt work required in cloud computing. I’m more interested in doing ML work, not just deploying pipelines and servers but also modeling and training. How do I make the transition? I know there are online courses out there, but surely that’s not enough to get your resume noticed? I have a MS degree and couple of publications, but I still don’t get any calls back for ML roles. Anybody who successfully transitioned? How did you do it? TC: 260k CAD
Real MLE roles (not in Amazon) are oversaturated with PHDs or experienced folks. You’ll probably end up doing SDE work even in a ML team.
I'm not MLE but what I've observed is that a lot of the ML folks are actually still just doing model deployments and ML Infra. ML is often just reusing other's work. If you really wanted to get into the nitty gritty academic type of ML you'll probably need to get into research or academia
Show your cards. C’mon, flip em. Flip em Zilly
