Hello all, I’m in a Manager level Analytics role, but have been looking to pivot more into Data Engineering for a while (eventually outside of consulting). I’ve made a high level training/practice plan for the summer but I could benefit from a mentor at this point. I’d prefer either someone who’s done a similar pivot or an experienced DE. Any suggestions or can anyone be available for a chat?

Went Sr. DA to DE, happy to chat about the transition but it largely depends on the type of work you’ll want to be doing in the space. DE is falling victim to the same interpretation as DS from years ago where there isn’t a true definition of the role from org to org and the skillsets/expertise isn’t standardized. Some orgs want a full on Software Engineer with a concentration in data and the ability to scale that system. Other places want someone who is just dedicated to ETL/ELT to support analytics. Some orgs want a whole IT department in one person for the price of a business analyst.

Why do you have an interest in pivoting to an IC after being a manager in a similar space?

Thanks a lot DE1!

I recently pivoted from a manager role in Technology Consulting to an IC role as a Big Data Software Engineer on an AI/ML team. I took as similar approach as you and made a study plan to fill any gaps between where I was and where I wanted to be. Then I made the switch.

My DMs are open if you’d like to chat!

Thanks a lot! I will be messaging you for sure

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
