Hi all,

I have 9 yrs of experience — first 6 in Java dev + production support, last 3 in Data Engineering. Recently worked on modernizing legacy Perl/DataStage pipelines to Fivetran + dbt + census+ Snowflake, building ETL models and supporting pipelines in production.

Planning a switch and confused: should I refresh Java and target senior backend roles, or deepen DE fundamentals and pursue DE long term? From a 5–7 yr growth view (comp, demand, stability), which path makes more sense?

Its upto you, if you want to continue programming... go with Java..
And if you enjoy code + tool based way of working and looking forward to get into techno functional roles later on..DE is a better option

The offer is:
