Hi Community, I am an entry level Data Engineer mostly by title but not by actual work experience I feel. Though I do have familiarity with tools such as - Airflow, Python, dbt, Snowflake and ETL/ELT concepts I m looking to do some projects that demonstrate my Data Engg. skills. I am struggling with project ideas and data sources to built some projects from. Can anyone please give some pointers for Data Engg. and Data Analytics

If you have good knowledge on the tools you mentioned then you can actually use a sample data set and build an end to end project

I would take a sample data set, store it in SharePoint, use an ETL tool, for example, Fivetrain, store the data in a data lake, and use dbt from the data lake and send the transformed data back to the data lake. It would be great to explain and showcase skills on your ELT concepts

Also, while in dbt, show a schema sample like data mart, start schema or plain and simple medallion architecture.

Also, finish strongly by showcasing your analysis with a BI tool—if you could, that would be a cherry on top!

You might want to explore some freelancing platforms, build a strong portfolio, and keep putting yourself out there for gigs. Wishing you the very best on your journey.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
