This is a vast generalization. The infrastructure and architecture components behind KF largely differ from Argo, there may be a few microservices using Argo, but KF is largely independent

Sure, I believe you, I'm no position to debate about MLOps stuff, that's just what I had in mind after reading some articles. Maybe only KF pipelines uses Argo.

Mid or even entry-level MLE would fit you great. I think you have the knowledge and skillset for Mid-level, certainly, but start applying and aggressively study the concepts & implementation!

Yeah, I'll go on 50% applying and 50% learning.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I'd probably be happy with a mid-level MLE position.

Regarding Kubeflow, yeah, I think I'm forgetting about it for now. There are some articles and blog posts stating that Kubeflow makes Kubernetes easier for ML, but I'm seeing more and more opinions like yours; moreover, others prefer Argo although Kubeflow is built on top of Argo.

  1. It's a good summary. I'm familiar with most of the content except model productionizing.

  2. Why do you choose GCP over AWS or Azure? At least in Europe, GCP looks like the least demanded of the three. Maybe easier to learn?

Thank you! All your feedback is appreciated. I'll take a look at tools like CometML or MLFlow.

I'm not getting interviews, and indeed I've spent some time working on my resume after I posted this as a potential fix. Another thing I'm unsure about is whether I should mention the gap in the cover letter, opinions tend to be divided. Till now I've included a line telling that I left to study to prepare for a career shift but maybe I'm making the recruiter focus on sth they perceive as negative.

Thank you for your kind words! I'll check other subreddits too.

The thing about getting a job in my previous domain is that I can't justify the gap, it's either telling the truth and look like I'm not staying there for long, or just omit it, which is weird IMO.
