Has anyone moved from full stack development to Data Engineering?
I am feel stuck in front end application development and am looking for other roles that interests me. I really like the back end part of my job but don’t get to do that much now. I was thinking that with the LLM hype, there would be need for folks strong in data engineering or SQL skills. Has anyone managed to make that jump ?
I sort of did; the motivation was the poor quality of business requirements, which I traced to the extremely false belief that a physical data model can capture a business process. Then the game was to try to cultivate information architecture, to understand the rationales for legacy data models, especially where they were not good enough, and eventually train how to deduce adequate data models from the processes. Long story short, no one understood.
He also taught himself to draw, and is really good at it.
