In my experience no matter the field breaking into it via ops is almost a certain way to never get to where you want to be. Cloud Engineering/SRE/MLOps are so in demand a company would be foolish to let you move up unless you really, really made a stink about it. Better to just get your MSc in statistics/CS. It's possible to break into the field with less but of the (very talented) ML engineers/scientists I know the ones with the BScs are basically stuck. Most people want to actually make cool models and novel ideas. You won't get to this position without an MSc /PhD.

Cloud Engineering/SRE/MLOps are so in demand a company would be foolish to let you move up unless you really, really made a stink about it. You need to pick better companies. If the place you work handles employee growth and development by saying this employee is to valuable to support their career then gtfo.
