I'm currently working through 'Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn' and I found Chapter 2 to be quite challenging since it's an end-to-end ML project. I'm wondering if the upcoming chapters will be more manageable for someone at my intermediate level. Should I stick with it, or are they likely to be just as tough?

I feel you! Chapter 2 can be a lot to digest, especially if you're not super familiar with all the concepts yet. I've found that as you move on, some chapters tend to break things down better, making it easier to follow along. Just keep at it, and don't hesitate to revisit earlier concepts if you need to!
A lot of people struggle with the math side of ML, so if you're not comfortable there, it can be tough. But if you're okay with Python and the basics, you'll probably find the next chapters easier. A good tip is to try to figure out what specifically is challenging you in Chapter 2 and address that before moving on.
If you're having struggles, it might help to get a glimpse of the upcoming chapters to gauge whether they're going to be easier. Alternatively, why not create a simple model that predicts how hard those chapters might be for you based on what you’ve learned so far? It could be fun! Just keep pushing through, and you'll gain a lot from the practice.
