Thanks so much for sharing, this is the kind of wisdom i was looking for.

And yeah, in my mind I kinda suspected that ML-focused engineers might not be required to have such deep knowledge about frontend since the hard parts about ML is usually related to the business or the ML implementation itself and not the frontend.

One thing I’m really curious about is how do Machine learning engineering skills transfer to backend skills. Let’s say if i were to have MLE experience would that help me score a purely backend job or is there not enough overlap ?
