8+ years SWE (mobile) want to transition into ML engineer roles. What actually worked for you?
I'm pivoting from mobile into ML engineering roles. I have the theory foundation (MS in AI/ML) but limited production experience.
For those who made this jump: what was your actual 6-month prep? Was it sufficient? What mattered vs what didn't? How did you position yourself in applications?
Looking for real timelines and guidance.
TIA
