This video reveals the unspoken reality of most ML roles and how to actually get to do the ML you love. Many ML jobs are more data engineering than model training. We'll explore why companies prioritize simplicity and explainability over complex algorithms, and what skills you really need to thrive in these roles:
◉ SQL: Master the art of data extraction and cleaning.
◉ Data Engineering Tools: Learn Airflow, Kafka, and ETL processes.
◉ Scripting & Automation: Python, Pandas, Bash, and Luigi will be your allies.
◉ Cloud Platforms: AWS, GCP, and Azure are essential.
Feeling stuck in a data-heavy role? We'll cover two paths to transition into more ML-focused work:
◉ Internal Transition: How to convince your boss to incorporate ML into your projects, build demos (Streamlit, Gradio), and collaborate with other teams.
◉ External Transition: Targeting ML-first companies (OpenAI, Anthropic), building a strong portfolio (GitHub, Kaggle, StrataScratch), and upskilling in research-oriented ML (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Transformers, Reinforcement Learning). We'll discuss project ideas like laptop price prediction, stock price prediction, keyword detection, and more!
Data engineering is the foundation of ML. Mastering these skills will make you indispensable and prepare you for the ML roles you crave. This video will give you the real-world insights you need to navigate the ML landscape.
