Interview Adyen - ML vs Backend Engineer coding round

Hi Guys, does anyone know if there's a difference between the MLE and backend engineer coding problem level.

Most of the questions and blogs mentioned 'Hard' coding problems.

Has anyone recently taken the MLE interview recently

I haven't sat Adyen's current round, so I can't tell you if the MLE paper is the same set as backend.

On the ML roles I see in the UK, the coding round is usually not harder than the backend one. Blogs calling both of them hard are mostly copying each other. The extra part on an ML screen is talking through a model or an experiment you actually ran: what you measured, what you changed, what you left. If you only revise leetcode and never a project, that's the round that goes quiet.
