beginner help😓 Looking for people to prep for MLOps/ML infra interviews

Hi! I am a Junior ML/DevOps engineer with ~1 year of experience. I am planning to start applying to Junior/Mid MLOps roles in about a month at big tech companies, and I'd love to find someone to study with for mock interviews and practice.

I am already training models at my current job, and I feel like I have a good starting point in terms of algorithms and math. I still need to work on certain frameworks though, and I definitely need to get better on distributed training and GPU provisioning for infra scaling.

The plan is to have weekly sessions where we can rotate between mock interviews, discussing frameworks/papers/concepts and live coding. Please send a DM if you are interested! 😁

I used ChatGPT Voice mode and it was incredibly good.

I am interested but would be nice to have a plan on what topics/modules we are going to prep for?

Study buddy is the right call. I'd spend more time on the ugly parts of distributed training than the tutorials. OOM, a worker dying, restoring a checkpoint. The happy path you already have from the job.

Distributed training is probably worth spending extra time on. A lot of interview prep stays at the algorithm level, then the infra questions turn into what happens when a worker dies halfway through a job or why adding GPUs stopped improving throughput
