Impact of big 4 consulting in an data engineering career.

I recently started at one of the big 4 as a DE. So far I have seen some pretty poor coding practice, lack of version control and taking short cut everywhere. Every one also highly prefer no code ETL tool. I am a little worried that this environment is bad for a DE career.

Just wondering if this is just my project or is or project like that? I am considering switching after a few more months.

How long have you been doing DE?

Dmed you

You sound a lot like me a few years ago. I still have no experience working on a team with good development practices since I've been a one person team everywhere I've gone, but don't worry too much. You probably more align as a business intelligence engineer which is still a super important team/position. If you want to align more as a data (software) engineer, then maybe it would help to find another position elsewhere
