You can pivot to an adjacent role within ML like MLOps or Data Engineering. That’s what I did. I didn’t like waiting an entire day for a model to run and then having to fix it late at night so I can do another iteration throughout the night. So now I build machine learning platforms which is more traditional software engineering and comes with predictable outcomes. Your knowledge about ML is still valuable.

Staying up late to run another iteration sounds very familiar haha. Are you happy with your change or did it turn out that the grass is greener on the other side?

I’m happy with the change. MLOps is an exciting field right now. There’s a lot of companies that need people who knows ML and software engineering.
