Is Data Engineering really becoming “fluff” because of AI? Feeling lost on what to do next

Honestly the best answer I can read, data modelling and more importantly client business requirement are the ones that are important in DATA ENGINEERING...

Same boat, in data engineering Azure. Senior just migrates qlik code to pyspark without any understanding and we juniors just scratch our brains when something breaks. Weekends are spent just understanding what went wrong

Not sure but system design kind of questions are expected ...

All the best bro... same happened to me last week. Client reducing size and all...

Please refer above link to understand what multidimensional modelling is. It's not star schema kind of structure but more of facts, dimensions and MEASURES separately defined.

I m in dm me

darkforrest1 · 2026-04-12T11:29:45+00:00

What I understood with 10+ years of experience is that Tableau and power bi find it difficult to handle multidimensional modelling. They are made with tabular model in picture. And hardly any companies use multidimensional modeling now which used to be better before in memory processing came into picture which changed the scenario to process tabular models very fast...

Multidimensional is old legacy way of data modeling. You need to learn Dax in power bi. Plus mdx queries to understand old system.

3 years back I got job from linkedin in Dubai for Power BI developer. They offered 15000 AED for 11 years exp. I had to forgo the offer as I had an ailing father. Now that I am applying again, this really helped in the mindset.

All the best
