[D] Thesis or non thesis masters? (alien.top)

This may be obvious, but I wanted to ask anyways. Currently I'm considering my grad school options, mainly so I can work as an ML Engineer afterwards. A lot of the schools I'm looking at have professional/non thesis options. I was wondering, would a non thesis masters hurt my chances of working in the ML field if I didn't really want to get a phd afterwards?

Especially for ML, hands-on experience is so important even just for learning. And is unfortunately under-emphasized in many ML courses.
