I am learning ML engineering about 6 months but just now I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find a job. I would like to hear from those who managed to get a job without education

You should find a GitHub repo, like tinygrad, and make contributions to it. Eventually, your work will speak for itself and you’d be much better positioned to land a job. If after finding several repos to try to make contributions to, you find yourself not able to make such contributions, take an honest assessment of your skills and set goals to improve the areas you need to improve. I’ve been working for several years in this area and would never dare something like “knowing how to do everything”. Be specific about what you know how to do. Maybe you’re just trollin’ us.
