AI can help with interview prep—but don’t rely on it blindly.
➜ Use AI to refresh what you already know
➜ Ask specific questions with context
➜ Always ensure you understand the why behind the answer
AI should assist, not replace, real learning.

Want to break into ML engineering? The real path looks like this:
➜ Build a project for yourself—see if you enjoy it
➜ Fill in gaps with courses (now you know what’s missing)
➜ Build something useful for others
➜ Start applying & prepping
Actively building matters more than just studying.
When applying for MLE jobs:
➡ Stay organized—batch applications by similar requirements
➡ Prep for specific interview types
➡ Expand filters only if needed
Too much variation = burnout. Stay focused and sane!
After Senior MLE, your career can branch into 5 paths:
➡ Architect: Designing big systems
➡ Tech Lead: People-focused leadership
➡ Problem Solver: Tackling deep challenges
➡ Right Hand: Flexible leadership across roles
➡ Manager: Strategic leadership
What kind of ML leader do you want to be?
My student just crushed the ML System Design interview and landed a Meta E5 offer:
Base: $230k
Bonus: 15%
Sign-on: $80k
RSUs: $875k over 4 years, vesting quarterly with no cliff
Hard work and preparation pay off—congrats to him!
