Any QA or SDET in here who transitioned to data analyst or data engineer role? What prep work did you do to transition to a new role? I tried to apply for one position but was told to learn more complex SQL queries. Is basic sql not enough and just learn building complex queries at work?

If you were already on the job, you could probably get away with that, to be honest. But with transitioning into it, you may have to prove yourself more to get in the door.

I tried for internal role transfer but no luck because I don’t have experience writing complex sql queries, I’m thinking of trying out somewhere else but want to know if I have a chance and hear some success stories. What other things are needed to prove myself?

Complex SQL is the bare minimum these days for data engineers. Then they require you have to have knowledge of distributed systems, cloud and microservices. Trust me I have been working as a data engineer for about three years now and every time interviewer is like this and that and then you write SQL or pipeline in actual work.

I’ve been practicing in traditional labor for about two years now (although about a decade of labor relations experience) but I’m trying to break into employee benefits law. Unfortunately I’m not being given much experience in benefits as I’m pretty typecast as a labor atty. Any advice on how I can go about getting employee benefit experience? My long term goal is to have benefits be my main area of practice.

Guys,
Need some suggestions.
Currently I am working in TCS Kolkata with 6.8lpa, technology - Exchange 2010 (which is already out of support from Microsoft).
I got an offer from Infosys Bhubaneswar with 9.3lpa, technology: Office 365.
My hometown is Kolkata.
Hybrid model is okay for me if it is Bhubaneswar as my in-laws won't allow me to move to a different city. Problem is opportunities are very less in Kolkata and TCS won't hire ex- employees. Should I switch to Infosys or stay back in TCS..

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
