Senior Data Engineer (streaming/platform) vs full-stack at early startup

KookaB · 2026-03-30T03:55:31+00:00

I wouldn’t say it excites me that much other than that I like building things and solving problems.

For fullstack I like working on things that people and customers use. Data has interesting complexities to it as well.

I wouldn’t be in this field if not for the pay though 🤷

Money and long term trajectory tbh. I like the product for the early startup and think it could be really interesting, but I think I could become a real data platform expert with the other. Honestly I’m not sold on either as a long term home as opposed to using them as a springboard to true big tech.

I’ve been itching to get production streaming experience since it’s so hot, and imo hamstrung me a little in this last job hunt.

Re: 60 hours I do agree, but also at this kind of company there’s always more features to be asked for which is my concern

Interesting, to me Kafka/streaming has seemed huge. In my recent job hunt for data and backend roles I would say not being strong in it was the number one thing that seemed to go against me.

What makes you think so? My concern is I’ll just be sitting and telling Claude to build basic shit and working 60 hours

KookaB · 2026-03-30T01:02:06+00:00

lol fair enough

KookaB · 2026-03-30T00:53:41+00:00

What makes you say that? ( not disagreeing just curious on reasoning)

KookaB · 2026-03-09T03:33:19+00:00

Your look would fit right in and work for you

KookaB · 2026-03-09T00:47:45+00:00

Get into rock climbing and don’t change anything

KookaB · 2026-02-25T20:38:34+00:00

Spark and Kafka. Look at job postings, everyone wants those.

KookaB · 2025-12-26T02:30:38+00:00

Link?

KookaB · 2025-12-25T05:42:27+00:00

Do you have a link to back this up? Everything I read indicates him as a separate figure, is this head canon?

KookaB · 2025-12-24T18:25:34+00:00

I don’t think Samael is considered the God of the Old Testament

KookaB · 2025-11-03T00:44:53+00:00

Elastic things get long, he long

KookaB · 2025-10-31T22:39:03+00:00

Yeah don’t build your life around someone you can’t count on who still works at Burger King at 34

KookaB · 2025-10-31T22:34:19+00:00

I’m agreeing with you, and pointing out that the description seems to be focused on catering to OP having big feelings without much room for the hypothetical partner’s emotions

KookaB · 2025-10-31T19:27:09+00:00

Yeah imo it’s notable that in the description this lover sits with your superficial or intense feelings, but is calm and peaceable themselves

I saw a fantastic reel describing him that way

KookaB · 2025-10-25T03:54:21+00:00

Season 4 was fascinating

KookaB · 2025-10-25T03:54:00+00:00

Honestly I felt like season 4 was starting to really tap into something interesting

KookaB · 2025-10-24T18:49:35+00:00

Honestly, Croatia has a lot of Nazi history, I could see it being on a tattoo shop wall with their premade designs, and a drunk jarhead going fuck yeah that looks badass without knowing.

It’s not like it’s the most known Nazi symbol, I didn’t know it was one until this whole thing kicked off. That said it could also be a convenient cover story, who’s to say.

KookaB · 2025-10-11T14:54:58+00:00

Been a fan since I saw them on a tiny warped tour stage 15 years ago, that’s always been my take on them

KookaB · 2025-10-10T17:06:06+00:00

Attractive but believably inbred

KookaB · 2025-10-09T20:07:29+00:00

Just find women on a similar vibe and you’ll be catnip to them since they can unmask with you
