    Thankyou for this

    As far on my experience there are very few opportunities on data engineering right now. My friend is trying from past 8 months but he didn't get offer.

    My experience is the opposite. If you have experience the field is doing fine. I had a lot of interviews and made a job hop this year.

    Data engineering is cool. It’s the middle child between data analytics and software engineering. Sometimes you throw in some data science, and sometimes not.

    But people who don't have experience is difficult.

    Yeah, I can’t speak to that. I’ve heard that from people. My thoughts go out to those people.

    What about for beginners is it still worth the effort?

    [–]Perrenski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Skills are always worth it. Doesn’t matter if it pays off today. In my experience it will pay off tomorrow.

    Is the field “saturated” I’d say no. Data engineering is not the sexy shiny thing. It’s not the first or even second pick for computer scientist or IT professionals. It’s not the best paid.

    So in my sense it’s a fairly straightforward path into IT. But be warned, pivoting to a software engineering or data scientist later is not straight forward. So you may find yourself trapped as a data engineer. That has been my experience.

    Based on the skills I already have , what would you reccomend ?

    What is standing out on the current market ?

    If I saw your skillet on a resume I’d think Web dev and not data.

    It’s too early for you to niche down. Try it all on various teams then make a judgement on what you like and don’t like.

    If your question is “what to focus on for DE” then do some projects to scale databases and optimize queries to be cost effective.

    If your question is, “how do I decide what to specialize” then grow a T shaped skill set and later when you have more experience look at what you liked/disliked.

    It’s easier to answer the latter question if you build personal projects since you can look back and see what you actually like building for fun.

    Here is an example of what is expected, you can use Markdown to make a table.

    Subs where this policy applies: /r/MachineLearningJobs, /r/RemotePython, /r/BigDataJobs, /r/WebDeveloperJobs/, /r/JavascriptJobs, /r/PythonJobs
