DE to MLE Pivot

I’m a new grad with a non-CS engineering degree who accepted a Data Engineering role at a F100 company, where I’ll also be working as an Applied AI Engineer.

I wanted to use this position as a launching pad into Machine Learning Engineering because many of the newer MLE job postings in the current market require strong DE skills.

My company is willing to cover most of the cost of a master’s degree in CS, but would pursuing one be necessary? I’ve been following this sub and have seen a lot of online courses recommended, however would completing a program like the GT OMSCS or UIUC MCS be enough to cover these concepts and make up for the fact that I don’t have a degree in CS?
