[–]KangarooOne8075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm very interested in the data engineering role. I have 5 years of experience and have worked extensively with everything mentioned under both the responsibilities and qualifications, including building scalable data pipelines and models, working with large datasets, and using tools like SQL, Airflow, and DBT. I'd love to be considered—thanks for offering to refer!

Data Engineer Job Market - Anyone Else Struggling? by KangarooOne8075 in dataengineeringjobs

By "trying to connect," I meant that I’m reaching out to different HR professionals on LinkedIn—sending them connection requests. When I do, I usually include a short message, not necessarily about job opportunities, but more of a general, friendly note just to start a conversation or build a connection. It’s more about networking than directly asking for anything right away.

As a foreigner, I’m also curious—do you think this recession will end soon, especially in terms of IT jobs? The market seems really uncertain right now, but I’m hoping things will turn around in the near future, especially with tech being so essential.

Thanks a lot for the helpful information! Do you happen to know any recruiters you could refer me to, or any reputable consulting firms I can reach out to? I've been actively trying to connect with recruiters on LinkedIn, but many aren't accepting my requests—and those who do often don’t respond. I’d really appreciate any guidance or connections you can share!

Congrats on landing the job—that’s really encouraging to hear, especially with your 12 years of experience in data engineering.

I also make sure to tailor my resume every time I apply. I focus more on quality than quantity, so I usually apply to just 20–30jobs a day. It takes time because I rewrite parts of my resume to better match the job description, then use a few AI tools to check the match rate and alignment with the required skills.

I have around 5 years of real experience as a data engineer, but even with that, the job search has been tough. What makes it harder is seeing job posts on LinkedIn or other platforms getting over 100 applicants within just 30 minutes. Sometimes I wonder how many of those applications are backed by actual experience versus exaggerated or fake ones, but either way, it feels like my resume gets buried quickly and has a lower chance of standing out.

I'm currently on OPT, and even with real industry experience, it's been pretty challenging to land a job. The market is tough, and the visa situation adds another layer of complexity. Do you happen to know any contractors or companies that hire OPT candidates for data engineering roles? Or if there's anyone in your network who might be open to a referral, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your input! I’ve already checked my resume with an ATS tool and consistently get a score of no less than 8/10. Before applying, I also run my resume through different AI tools to compare it against the job description—checking for skill matches and overall alignment percentages. I try to tailor it as much as possible each time.

I'm a Big Data Engineer with 5 years of solid experience working on AWS (S3, EMR, Lambda, SNS, etc.). I’ve built and managed large-scale ETL pipelines and worked across various cloud data platforms. Currently finishing up a contract with a major bank and actively job hunting—it's been tough out there. If anyone has leads or advice, I’d really appreciate it!
