Hey everyone, I have 6 years experience as a BI in Amazon where I was promoted upto Business Intelligence Lead for which I worked for 6 Months and later moved as a Support Engineer to a Data Engineering team. I am currently doing my masters in USA and in my second semester. I want to interview and work as a Data Engineer. I think i will probably start applying for interviews by spring this year. Any tips on the preparation needed? and any guidance will be appreciated. Thank you!

There are lots of great resources on YT, and I would do a browse on Glassdoor to get a sense of the types of questions people are getting asked. I would start applying a bit earlier than spring honestly as it takes time to get interviews scheduled etc

Are you currently working as a data engineer, or looking to move into that position?

If you are already doing your Masters and have no need for an online course or that sort of thing, you really just need to dive in and get the practical experience

What does it even mean now to work “in tech”. I feel like people are over romanticizing the “in tech” part to mean working any job in a tech company or the IT department of a company, when I think it should be more towards people in product, design, engineering, and maybe corporate strategy, etc. I’m not trying to gatekeep anyone, but I feel like this is problematic because it bleeds into stuff like “the prestige working in FAANG” but one is in a non-tech role or lower requirement role.
