"SQL" is short for "Structured Query Language." People started calling it "sequel" because it was easier to say. Both "SQL" and "sequel" are used in the tech world to talk about databases. The pronunciation "sequel" originated from the term "Structured English Query Language," which was the original expansion of "SQL" when it was first developed.

Data Engineering with Project Management Approach = Perfect Combination. DOST-DAP Project Sparta Data Engineer Graduate here. 😊

[@AnnsEssence]

Hello ☺️ yes it's a perfect combination. Most of the Project managers na naka kasama ko ay both Sr. data engineer and doing project management as well, nasakit nadaw ang ulo nila whehehe

More power, take the lead and help our Kababayan to reach this kind of Job. I'm happy to see Filipino na nagbloblog about Data Engineer, mostly kasi nakikita ko sa youtube are americans and indians. Suggestion lang, can you detail and review those course help you to do fulfill this job.

Thank you. Oo nga yun ung Di ko na I include pa ung details ng mga course na na take ko hehe.. Sa susunod I'll put it na para mas detailed 😊

nakuha mo attention ko sa mga topics na discuss mo in your vlog masyado technical at sarap pakinggan mapa sana all ka talaga lol.... sabi ko sa sarili ko na gaynyan dapat ang aking pangarap na trabaho. Gusto ko matotoo sa programming specially sa SQL ito yung passion ko dati noong nasa college ako. Isa akong Computer Engineering graduate, ang Programming Language noon na aming ginagamit ay "Assembly Lanaguage" at Visual Basic old schoool 2000 grad kasi ako lol.... nahumaling ako sa paggawa at pag-aaral ng Programming. buong akala ko noon magagamit ko ito sa trabaho ngunit bigo ako dahil napasok ako sa isang Retail Company at hanggang ngayun sa loob ng 22 years dito parin ako.. This past few months bumabalik ako sa pag-aaral at pagrresearch about Programming dahil umaasa parin na baka hindi pa huli ang lahat matupad ang pangarap ko makapag trabaho bilang Programmer or Data Engineer.

[@AnnsEssence]

If the pandemic never happened baka nasa Retail padn ako. 😊 Retail became my comfort zone for the past 7yrs. Kaya when I transition to data engineering it actually became really hard for me. Pero in the end I am happy to have this kind of experience in tech industry.

Hi, I'm a data engineer with 4+ yrs of experience. Recently our company laid off whole DE team with few months of salary in advance, coz of financial reasons. Let me know if u have any references in Philippines.

[@AnnsEssence]

I've heard most of the laid off most employees in India and Sri Lanka (in my previous company) maybe we have same company before. For now I don't have any idea yet but most of my friends from India once they're contracts end in the company they are posting in LinkedIn telling that they are open for a job and indicates their skills and desired position. Most finds through online jobs. You can find a work at home setup in most online job searches.

Python is fine. Since you have ETL knowledge or xp it will be easier for you to adopt

[@jimmycabutotan975]

Yung Ma'am and Sir nasanay tayo jan kasi ang history ng employment are influence by Japan which is very known as "hierarchy system" mejo malaking adjustment rin yan sa akin nung una nung maging employer ko is Australian pero I was brief nung agency na may under sa amin na bawal mo nga silang tawaging Ma'am and Sir. Anyway hindi ako sa Data Industry, I'm in design Industry pero nakakarelate ako sa experience mo. at first nasa manufacturing ako as maintenance staff then dun nagsimula yung career shift ko from maintenance to mechanical design. Nung una mejo frustrating kasi gusto ko talaga magkaclient as freelancer. Then 2022 I got this opportunity na mahire as remote mechanical designer sa Australia. After a year lumipat ako sa ibang agency gawa ng compensation now I'm working with American Company with the same position mejo ok compensation ng American compare sa Australian that's all I can say.

[@AnnsEssence]

Ohh. Oo nga no. Kase nag ka project dn aq before na American naman ang client. Tapos ganun nga may additional bonuses at nag aallow cla na pumasok ng holidays at nag aallow cla ng Ot, sa au ay hndi ganun. Pero Australian clients ung parang mga nagng pnaka mababait na clients namen

Wow. Thank you 😊 ❤️

[@0ninetyseven97]

Ako naman graduate last 2012 BSIT din. Took a full course on udemy naman ng full stack web development. Kaya nauwi sa web dev ako. Sana pala nag data analyst ako kaso di ko alam ang work back then kung anong scope of work.

[@AnnsEssence]

Nung na hired aq sa previous company ko ang job title na binigay nila saken if software engineer.. Hehehe. Pero yun nga dahil nung wala paqng proj ay sa sql at database management system aq nag self study nilagay nila aq sa mga proj na related sa data engineering. If I'm not mistaken ang softwer developer ay involved sa Web design? Tama ba aq o Mali ang pag ka intindi ko? Hehe. Date na tatandaan ko way back on college days gumagawa aq ng person website using an old ways pa. Notepad at html ang gamit ko hehe

[@dataanalysiscourse785]

Mam maganda kung pwede kayo magkaroon nang roadmap for data engineering profession.

[@AnnsEssence]

Yes po. I'm also considering it. Actually when I landed my de job I don't considered the roadmap for data engineering since a lot of information is giving me an overwhelming experience hehehhe. So I decided to focus on 1 thing first and because sunod sunod ung nagng projects with tight deadline nagng hard para saken I singit ang self study ko. But now po since I do have a lot of time to explore I am considering it na po. I'm currently exploring it as of the moment 😊

[@dataanalysiscourse785]

Thank you po sa pag sagot. Ano kaya ang kadalasang ginagamit na software for DE.

[@AnnsEssence]

@@dataanalysiscourse785 it always depends po sa project na mapupuntahan ng isang Data engineer. Before po ay naka gamit na ako ng cloud platform na Microsoft Azure, tapos Data Warehousing po (Snowflake I love this one po 😍❄️) SQL based databases po Ssis, postgresql, mysql. Yung iba ko namang mga kaibigan na data engineer kapag nakaka usap ko sila. Gumagamit cla ng visual basic, ung iba is informatica, ung iba naman even if de cla they're more focus on sql plus powerbi.. Napaka broad ng topic about de. At ang dami ko pa din pong Di na eexplore.. I became more and more fascinating about DATA. Nakaka excite na eexplore Talaga. 👌

[@AnnsEssence]

@@dataanalysiscourse785 your channel is about da. Date nag uusap kme ng mentor ko since both of us is more on technical side nagging curious kame about data insights and visualization. Hehe. Maybe if I'm contented with my knowledge sa date engineering I could explore more with data analyst role as well maybe in the future 😊

[@zedshockblade7157]

Kung fresh grad po kayo tapos nag babalak maging data engineer, what tools and topics po yung aaralin nyo .

[@AnnsEssence]

Ahh. Oo iniisip ko din yan. If I were a newly graduate at magpu-pursue ako ng career sa data engineering ngayong 2024, I would still choose to explore SQL and database management systems. Yung mga pagkakamali na nagawa ko during my career is mainly dahil doon ako naka-focus. Since project-based nga kami, ginagawa ko na mag-deep dive ako sa SQL. Then kapag nasa project na ako, saka ko lang aaralin yung mga tools na nire-require sa project kasi wala talaga akong idea kung saan ako mapupunta sa mga susunod na proj. After that project, hindi na ako nag-de-deep dive doon sa mga tools and programming languages na ginamit ko before like SAS, Python, and tools like Informatica, PowerBI, and Spotfire (both are data visualization tools). Additionally I would also explore more on Data Visualization tools like PowerBi or Tableau.

[@zedshockblade7157]

Salamat po, hopefully makagawa din po kayo ng video about sa day in the life of a data engineer like kung ano yung typical task na ginagawa nyo araw araw, pati yung mga common scenario and problems na madalas nyo na eencounter ❤❤

It depends. If it's associate level or junior level it's from 18 to 25k, if it's analyst level it's around 27 up to 35k. If it's senior level it can range from 50 upto 90k (it always depends on your expertise level). This is based on the interviews and hiring agency that I've talked before. It also depends on the company that you are applying for. Most of them might offer lower than I mention but other might offer much higher than this especially when the employee is directly hired by the clients
