I am currently working mostly in Data Analytics, but I want to transition into Data Engineering. I've applied to a couple Data engineer positions but it seems I don't have the qualifications for them. Should I maybe look for Jr. Data Engineer positions to get experience and try to move up from there? If so anybody know of any Jr. Data Engineer positions available?

Some people hate how open ended data science can be while data engineering has is a clear end product.

Personally I do enjoying working on data engineering tasks every so often (not full time though).

Data Analytics to Data Engineering is a significant jump even for junior positions. What sort of experience and skills you have.

Agreed C2. Its exact what you mentioned that OP hasn’t gone through fundamental learning curve in the area.

I was trained in the hadoop ecosystem, but my first project was mainly analyzing data sets and creating tableau visualizations. Unfortunately my Hadoop experience only goes as far as training, there was no actual work experience.

I would recommend to get some experience before making the jump. One good option would be to get familiarized with cloud Data Engineering. Coursera has good material on GCP for instance. It would set the foundations for you and give some credibility as well.

Remember hiring is a short term marriage- has to work both ways.

Is now a good or bad time to move? I’m a financial analyst with 5 YOE (3 in manufacturing, 2 in Saas). I’ve been asking for promotion for almost a year now in my current company. Finally, my new manager and all the leaders on the team are supportive of my promotion. However, he said due to budget issue, my promotion probably won’t go thru during this cycle (August), but they will make sure it go thru in Feb ’23. If I get offered SFA role outside, should I consider? Or stay?

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
