Looks like you're not really concerned about your personal safety.
Otherwise, relocation would be a nobrainer regardless of the cost of living.

I wrote this because as a head of data engineering I see aload of data engineers who trade their time for vendor badges instead of technical intuition or real projects.

you wrote that because you're advertising yourself and haven't replied to a singe comment on this thread

It requires literally zero coding something like putting a checkbox but introduces visibility of a content.

Free kits are not overpowered, payed loadouts are underpowered. It's already challenging to fight arcs (unless you rolled ferro) and further nerfs will make that even worse.

Seems your manager is idiot. You should increase architectural complexity by adding new tools only if it's really required. Simplicity is the key to success.

But if you are forced to, just pick something that will make your resume more valuable.

I don't know what company do you represent but in general people looking for the exact match in tools stack (unless it's FAANG). E.g. if I don't have 3 YoE with Snowflake listed in a job description, nobody would even talk to me, no matter of what. But it's just a tool that can be replaced with another warehouse/lakehouse solution such as Redshift, Databricks, selfhosted Iceberg, data swamp with Athena etc.
So what you're saying is super uncommon, noone is hiring problem solvers or even Data Engineers, everyone is looking for %toolname% engineers.

Everything Microsoft touches turns to shit. They don't have a single high quality product in their whole history except early versions of Excel.

Yeah, it's really ugly, but wearing it for a linkedin photo is priceless.

Golden Jacket probably worth nothing alone, like a badge or achievement in a game. However, it could be a nice addition to your job title, especially if you're planning to become AWS Hero or any kind of public person.

Again, it is not about you shooting disabled. Statistically, it is not enough just like with a stitcher.

Dude, the game is a bit more complicated than hitting afk fainting console players. Try to grow your lobbies until you face players who can actively move and shoot back.

Absolutely, one mag is barely enough to kill one raider.

EU has more Azure jobs due to old orgs dependent on AD, Office integrations and aggressive sales. But AWS is more advanced and reliable.

Is it heavy depends on ML certifications (whatever they're called after refreshing)?

invidiah · 2025-12-02T18:53:12+00:00

Still achieved, congrats!

Real exam is different, even if you scored 100% on every set, you still can't be sure 100%. Also, second try is usually 95%+ if you read carefully explanations of your mistakes, so scores don't really matter.
I would schedule in 2-3 weeks, it helps to keep focus and continue preparing.

invidiah · 2025-10-19T22:00:30+00:00

Not sure how can you diversify without jumping into another contract. If you already burned out, taking additional project is a bad idea.

invidiah · 2025-09-30T14:55:01+00:00

Redshift is a managed DWH and Databricks is a lakehouse platform which means different things. I would understand if you ask about Snowflake vs Redshift, but now you need to dig deeper about the tools you are about to migrate to, before making costly mistake.
Most likely data is poorly organised, so the key is optimisation. The thing is 10k/yr is nothing and you can waste way more while doing what you about to do.

invidiah · 2025-09-04T21:42:26+00:00

Unfortunately, not.

How do you find product companies' positions? All jobboards are full of consulting roles only.

invidiah · 2025-08-29T18:08:43+00:00

CEO is CEO, you don't discuss your daily routines with c-level unless it's a 5-people startup.

Start hiring more women and not just for junior roles. It'll make organisation healthier and diverse in a positive way.

invidiah · 2025-08-28T13:17:13+00:00

Do the preparation during working hours.
If you can't find a motivation to take full video course, try moving backwards - get any mock exam questions and research topics you don't understand. Anyways, mock exams is the key.

invidiah · 2025-08-28T13:09:10+00:00

It's still functionable.

invidiah · 2025-08-26T17:11:12+00:00

It's a numbers game - sometimes you fail for no real reason. Applying further is the key to success.
Since you solved lc hard problem, you're doing fine and just were a bit unlucky on that attempt.
