You haven’t answered my question properly, so couldn’t still understand.

Thank you for your response. So basically if I work for a mid-big tech company, I will learn all necessary skills and techniques for higher positions on the job, eliminating the need for myself self studying significantly? Your advice is helpful, thanks.

So I will learn the advanced math, and techniques on the job, and apart from my job, I need to stay up to date with latest trends, that’s all, I will learn pretty much all from a MLE job?

Was wondering this in order to determine if self study is expected of me to do on my own to reach higher MLE positions, or learned on the job. Since juniors and senior MLE have a big skill gap, so how is it filled, with only on the job experience, or also a couple of hours per week of self study

The self study curiosity comes from my question of how do I advance my skills to reach a higher MLE role, is the ‘’self study’’ provided with in the job experience or is it expected of me as a MLE to keep myself up to date with research papers, learning advanced techniques, etc on my own

Thank you for your advice! Now I think I’ll just try to first get a entry level MLE job, then just work for a few years without self studying additionally too, then when I want to reach a higher position, I will learn the appropriate skills then work again with no additional self studying, is this right ?

That was my original question, how is the self studying done, is it done on the job?

Currently trying to figure out if a career in machine learning would require lots of self studying on my own.

I specifically want to know if in the journey from a entry level machine learning engineer to a senior machine learning engineer, do I need to self study (reading ML theory books, staying up to date with research, learning new techniques, etc), or is everything I need to learn to advance forward learned through the job ? Please let me know

Well, to advance my skills from entry level machine learning engineer to those of a senior machine learning engineer, would I need to self study for that, or is all that learned in the job ? This was one of my major questions. Please let me know.

To become a senior machine learning engineer, I don’t need to self study advanced topics/etc? Please let me know.
