Maybe it's time for me to start learning more about ML engineering and deep learning. I've been stuck in the web development world for too long. #newyearresolutions

Thanks, alex_master! That helps. Does this mean they require a PhD in CS? Because I only have a Master's degree; I'm confused about the qualifications now. #jobhunt

I think a PhD is preferable but not always mandatory. A strong background in ML research and hands-on experience are what's important in this field.

For the coding interview, brush up on data structures and algorithms. Use past interview problems from LeetCode, HackerRank, and other websites. #jobprep
