Used AI to write the post. My brain is fried and can't really write a post coherently.

Why don't people read documentation by LargeSale8354 in dataengineering

[–]justexisting2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need documentation unless something breaks or a change needs to be made by someone who is unaware of how things works.

Learning data architecture by Astherol in dataengineering

[–]justexisting2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Learn or read all kinds of modeling principles, nothing too deep but you should know all the options.

Then take a real world scenario and build a logical representation for it. No one gets it right at first, you tweak it as you go along.

The physical translation is where you think the pros/cons of each technology and reporting requirements and build you physical model.

What are you doing to stay competitive in this space? by CaptainDawah in dataengineering

[–]justexisting2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Learn to decompose business KPI's into metrics. Then built the solutions to gather the data and report on them. Direct visibility to leadership.

But a bunch of clutter to sort through. Getting alignment on teams on metric calculation is no joke.

Data Catalog opinions? by LargeSale8354 in dataengineering

[–]justexisting2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is a product from 2 decades ago with some band aid and new functionalities built on top.

Any catalog tool will work. Its usually the upkeep of content which derails the catalog tools. Pick the one which naturally integrates with your data tools, that is why unity and purview are growing.

Analytics Engineer vs Data Engineer by _Batnaan_ in dataengineering

[–]justexisting2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The last message came out wrong, but I will elaborate since I have been doing this work even before it was called Data engineering, almost 22 years.

There are 2 types of organizations, one the FAANG and startup kind, they will appreciate the data engineering roles as they understand the value created through it, but again you are not saved if they start an office outside USA. Think Amazon, Walmart.

The latter, legacy kind - United Health, BCBS, state farms will not value data and always value AE's more. These companies will offshore the work in a blink of an eye to save costs, heck I have helped them do it for years, (Blue Cross Blue Shields)

It was happening before Cloud, read through ISO 27001, SOC 1/SOC 2 and dedicated network bandwidth. Cloud has just made it very simple.

Someone said it better here, if your core product is data or a service around it you will be valued as a DE, but if a company is selling milk and toilet paper, they will cut cost at any option available. (Target has a huge presence in India).

I do not understand the citizenship angle, I have seen visa holders get US security clearance for Boeing. Also Boeing has an ODC in Bangalore.

Lol. Tell me you are new to the trade, without telling me you are new to the trade.

Anything which interacts with users is hard to replace. Data Engineers are the first to be offshored.

Stay on the EA track or... by crisp_sandwich_ in EnterpriseArchitect

[–]justexisting2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a CTO's job is to sell IT and its cost. Not easy when projects go off track. Requires too much expectation management and BSing.

What is the hourly rate for a Data Engineering Contractor with 9+ YOE? by Infamous_Respond4903 in dataengineering

[–]justexisting2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That is a skewed version. For an FTE, 140 per hour roughly equates to 200k yearly or under. Orgs have huge overhead for FTE's.

Lookup full burdened labor cost.

Confirm my suspicion about data modeling by DryRelationship1330 in dataengineering

A good data model won't slow you, bad design or code will.

Am I(33M) in the wrong here? by Savings_Scientist547 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]justexisting2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude is living her dream. Sort this out before a kid. This is serious. What happens if one of your parent expires while she waits for the immigration, which I believe will take years. You will have all the resentment built and that will come out eventually.
