Bowl Leader
Seeing "tech lead" as a title or as a clarification on a resume increases expectations, much like seeing "Sr" vs not seeing it does. However, tech lead is a role rather than a direct indicator of seniority. For practical purposes, this means that you don't need the HR-given title, as it's common for this scope of duties to be left out from records.
Unlike Sr, Principal, Staff, etc, it's common for teams to not explicitly use the "tech lead" title, but to still have a tech lead. The tech lead might on paper be a Sr Wizard or a Jr Dictator or whatever other seniority-title combo is standard at a company. This is common enough that if you step into a lead role without the title, most won't take any issue with you using "Sr Wizard (tech lead)" on your resume, provided that what's what is clear in context of the formatting. Ok, with the fact that your job title was Wizard, maybe...
In other words, while being a lead takes more, don't pick a job based on whether "lead" is in the title. Instead, take the job that lets you expand your scope. That said, you do still have to identify that job, so the explicit title can be of help in a non-resume way.
This is great info and advice 👍
Depends on the team size, company hierarchies, responsibilities, what you want and like to do etc. Is the tech lead role at a startup? Does your current sr specialist role at Deloitte focus only on technical stuff or do you need to sale?
At what kind of company? Tech lead at FAANG would be a step up.
Idk you tell us lol? “Tech lead” is for sure a step up from “Data engineer” in the traditional sense
Idk maybe dumb posts yield “dumb responses”??
And I actually answered your question even with the lack of context you provided about the two roles. Tech Lead > Data Engineer
