Better question: what do you focus on?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Data engineering, pipeline stuff, cloud dev to support the pipeline... with enough cs chops to pass software engineer interviews rust/TS/python. Obv SQL too. Docker, terraform and similar like cloud formation. Conversational enough to interface with PMs and external clients.

Enough architecture experience to build out medium scale data applications

Something like 6th year

What I should have said:

Data structures and algorithms bro

Yeah I'm just a 5 year IT guy. That's probably why. I have taken data structures and algorithms classes in college though maybe I could look at that.

Any interest in DevOps? Might be a good extension from it

[–] Sanctus 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It sounds cool, tbh. I'd be willing to look a lot of places in tech for something new. My current place is just verifiably insane. They had no help desk tickets when I got here.

Yikes.

Maybe browse some AWS certifications. You could rack several up in a few weeks or months and have a few more feathers in the cap

Total comp?

Let's just say I'm very comfortable and own a home near Denver.
