I jumped from Front End development to Data Engineer, and it has been the best choice ❤

[@matthewsmith1500]

Did you went the bootcamp route or self-taught?

[@ishandinuka590]

I started as a full stack engineer out of college but then got hired at a larger company in their data platform org and now I’m obsessed with big data, databases, data viz and APIs. I’m working toward a change in title to data engineer from full stack engineer but regardless of title, data is the future.

The reality is explained so well it will take atleast 4 to 6 months to be a Data engineer and it requires a constant learning

Just start with Python, first learn the basics of it and then OOPs and other advanced topics and try to practice at least 60-80 questions. Your main focus should be arrays, strings, stack queue and linked list. While practicing questions on a daily basis start learning SQL , you have to learn it well cz it is very important. And make sure you practice that too after that start learning apache spark3 using python before that give 2-3 days to the DBMS as it will grow your interest in databases. Then finally learn Hadoop
