My advice would be to figure out what you want to do more concretely. Machine Learning / Data Science is a big field, if you have more concrete goal I think it would be easier.

I personally don't do a lot of feature engineering and I do regularly read papers, I just don't think that I am typical.

If you are serious about deep learning I would recommend this book instead: http://www.deeplearningbook.org It is coming out next month, but you can view the entire book online.

I work full-time as an ML Engineer at a big tech company in Silicon Valley. I think most ML Engineers do not read papers and do not do low level programming. They mostly do feature engineering.

Actually I feel like I forgot a lot of math since university and I would like to pick it up again. Does anyone have a resource they can recommend either for self-study or in person?
