Out of curiosity, do you feel you can compete with people who have advanced degrees in more quantitative sciences?

Although I'm in the process of plugging several holes in my own math education, I don't believe I'd be able to get any interesting, ML related jobs. I also don't see myself able to perform well in comparison, given that I lack the mathematical intuition one builds after several years of (almost) daily practice.

(I hope I don't sound discouraging, relearning math has been quit fun so far and made me able to understand more of everything).



The direct answer is - not at the research level but yes, in terms of application as the field matures and abstracts over time.

There are also adjacent jobs to ML engineer (product management and so on...).
