Hi, im wondering if someones job position is these titles, how does your average day at work look like? What are yours responsibilities, tasks? On what kind of project are you working at? If you say “training models”, how is that being concepted? Is it like, some task comes and you gather with team and discuss which alghoritm to use and then implement it, or? What kind of tasks are there even? How big is the team and are there different roles between yall in team?

Im asking cuz I have no idea and never came across someone in these roles (or any of that matter), my company dosent have them and all of my friends are just pure developers and business analysts.
So if someone finds some extra time to give me detailed answer id be grateful!!

Ill try to keep it as short as possible. Im currenty working as backend developer. In my free time i do study some concepts of ML and its been going on and off for about year and a half.

Now the problem is i keep forgetting everything, for example i digged deep for lets say logistic regression month ago and since then I didnt touch anything related. Now im just scrolling through something on youtube and logistic regression pops out and im like “holy shit i dont remember it from my head” even tho its one of the easiest and earliest concepts and I did it lastly month ago (i did it also few times through this year and a half) I cant write it on the lets say paper.

Im trying to balance everything in my life with learning ML so i dont get fed up or burnedout, so i cant commit some extraordinary time to it, but still i do it for circa 5 hr a week. I know its not much, but im not in a hurry and balance is important for me. Still it really bothers me how I can just read and watch something over and over and over again and still have a feeling that some things im seeing for the first time.

Any advice? Should I just start doing projects instead of studying it? I dont have like any brain problems, i did school, college, work everything normally, but all of this around AI seems to just vanish from my brain like it was nothing. Tnx
