Almost nobody will talk to you about ML positions unless you have at least MS in ML or have a large portfolio of recent SOTA implementations under your hood. More often a PhD in ML is a requirement for entry-level ML jobs with ridiculously low salaries (seeking enthusiastic doctorate holders etc.). Meritocracy is an illusion unless you do your own company and start competing in hottest areas - there your exit might be ridiculously big.
