I am looking to switch career and start learning but I am a bit confused whether to go for Front end developer or Data engineer?

I've done both. Here's my warning. Front end work is usually thank less. Clients usually look at the work, which can be precisely to spec, then ask why it doesn't do something never before mentioned! Data engineering is often more about the back end and, hopefully, your client is tech enough to understand the labor involved.

Why restrict to only these 2 roles. Checkout all available options including product and program manager before deciding

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

Additional Posts in Career Pivot

Looking for roles I can pivot to from my current career in financial middle office/financial ops -

I’m not interested in front office, and it feels like the only other jobs I can get are other financial MO/BO jobs.

What other jobs would these MO / ops skills be a good fit for?

So here is my dilemma:
- based in the UK
- opportunity for lateral internal move (culture&engagement) or stay where I am (reward). I am mid level IC struggling to progress due to flat structure so considering lateral move then hopefully up from there.
- 2 primary aged children, currently have flexibility in current/new role too
- Husband just got accepted on a international rotation which means I will be single parent for the short term.

What to do? Go with the unknown or coast comfortably?

Is RPA sales engineering a good career pivot now? Have been in Cloud SE for 5 years and it is getting mundane. Forget about the Data and AI, realistically majority of the work is around VM migration + RFP + Pricing + pushing commit 2x more than customer's current need, instead of really adding technical and business value to the customer.

RPA seems to be on the rise, there are certainly risk but the value + technology seems to be closer to reality. Love to hear more.
