Likely. Data analysis (of which ML is an important part) is needed in many places, from entry-level to top-level.<p>I am a data science freelancer and I mostly do projects for IT-dominated companies. First, I was surprised that such companies need some external help with relatively simple tasks; only later I discovered that top-notch performance in webdev (or even: algorithms) does not mean that someone is able to do simplest data analysis.<p>For data science &#x2F; ML - I know a lot of openings in which they are looking for &quot;data scientists&quot;, but what they mean is software engineers with at least a slight idea what is data analysis.<p>When it comes to deep learning in particular - I don&#x27;t know.
