Is MLOps a safer direction for ML Engineers right now

I’m currently working as an ML Engineer, and lately I’ve been thinking about shifting more toward MLOps

My assumption is that companies will still need devops who can deploy / maintain LLLM models bought from other companies

I understand nobody really knows where the industry will end up. I would like to hear from you all to understand what skills are worth investing time into during this uncertain phase instead of just doing nothing?
