Hello there.

DANG IT...!!!!!

Wish I had seen your write up after I resigned from my mid-level AWS Data Engineer role @ Deloitte in late Oct 2024.... it would've helped me a bit on this ML Engr path of mine.

Congrats on hitting that 1,000 score, nice.

"WE" appear to be on very similar tracks for this. Thanks for sharing your information - I might have to check out the Examtopics course you mentioned.

I did use the Kane and Maarek AWS ML Engineer 'Associate' course, but I was a bit so-so on their material. (All the face time of the instructor in various lectures/lessons just distracts the heck out of me.)

I also used Maarek's ML Engineer Assoc practice tests (which was useful).

And.... I did use the AWS skillbuilder material - not too bad.

Last - I REALLY LIKED the TutorialsDojo ML Engr Assoc practice exams.

But I did discover that one of the courses / tests I used may mention something (some topic or aspect) that the others did not discuss and vice versa.....

And talking about education/hosts/instructors - everyone has to remember that some people like some instructors more than others. Some instructors just hit the right vibe for some of us - for others, it just does not work... speech patterns (not language or dialect), the way questions or theories are formed or posed. It is just the way an instructor gets through to us. Some of them are winners and some are just not at the same scale.

I also did a write up on my AWS ML Engineer Assoc journey if you wanted to skim over some of the content:

Sooooo, thanks again - back to my ML Engr SPECIALTY studies.
