When I worked at Airbnb, something data engineering hiring managers said was "We don't have much success hiring Meta data engineers"
The reason for this is Meta's definition of the data engineer role and Airbnb's definition were quite different!
Airbnb wanted to hire a different data engineering archetype.
Airbnb looked for strong data structures and algorithm skills, strong SQL, software engineering fundamentals, and Scala/Java programming experience.
Meta looked for strong analytical skills, strong SQL, visualization skills, some data structures and algorithms, and decent Python skills. This skill set aligned more closely with the analytics engineer role at Airbnb!
This can make hiring and interviewing for data engineering roles very frustrating!
Before you do a full onsite loop with a big tech company, make sure you know what type of data engineering role you're interviewing for!

Will data engineering still exist in 10 years?
My prediction is DE will explode over the next 5 years and then a good chunk of DE roles will morph / fade away.
The DE roles that do large-scale integrations of many different types of data sources will have secure jobs.
DE that work vertically with software engineers and analysts are a little more in trouble.
These DEs will experience pressure to either own more of the infrastructure like SWEs or own more of the metrics like analysts.
This type of pressure will push DEs to analytics engineering over the long term.
Where do you think DE is going?

Do not be frustrated yet. Wake up in that frustration and push further. It’s closer than you think. If a road is blocked, use other alternative routes. They may be longer, but reaching where you’re going to is the most important.

As a Data Analyst, learning how to work with dates in SQL is very vital. Whether you are converting from text to numbers, ensuring consistent formatting (dd/mm/yyyy), or performing other essential tasks, proficiency in handling dates is a daily necessity. 🧵

Data engineers often get stuck at senior engineer!
This happens for a few reasons:
- data teams at many companies are small and don’t need another manager
- most data engineering doesn’t need hyper scale or extreme technical depth
- data engineers get stuck being ETL monkeys
How do you break out and become a data engineering leader?
- you start by setting best practices. Focus on the how the work is getting done. Code review, mentorship, documentation, etc
- you start saying no to low value adhoc requests to free up your time to work on more valuable infrastructure projects. You need a supportive manager to do this. Change teams or companies if you don’t have it.
- you start by asking more thought provoking business questions to build future proof models. This is possible by immersing yourself in the domain to understand all its intricacies!
What else helps you get beyond senior engineer?

I believe learning the ‘WHY’ is more important than learning how to use a particular tool to do what you want to do.
Taking time to understand the basic concepts of the analysis you want to carry out rather than focusing on how to use a particular tool to.. (1)

Building in silence doesn't mean don't share your growth online. No one will come to your system to check the works you have worked on. Let the people around you know what you do. That's where the recommendations start from. Share your work and progress.

The most successful developers aren't necessarily the smartest.
They're the ones who persist, who refuse to give up when faced with a challenge.
Do you have the grit to keep going, or will you give up because it's difficult?
