[@LukeBarousse]

Dude so agree, data engineering is growing a lot right now!!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Its crazy! there is so much DE work.

[@serikusa]

Ben, you are doing great job 👏 hope to catch-up with you 😃

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Thank you Serik! Yes we will have too!

[@candidlyvivian]

Great content, great job friend! Congrats from Brasil!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Thank you!

[@alno1]

Thanks for the video! Consulting business growth is quite a vast subject. Glad to here you chime in on this.

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Yeah, I need to start the next step on the path which is hiring.

[@alno1]

@@SeattleDataGuy It would be great if you could make a video on the different DE consulting niches out there more in depth.

@@SeattleDataGuy which channels do you use the most for finding leads? LinkedIn sales navigator, previous client referral, Toptal, blog post leads, or the new LinkedIn Marketplaces (potential), selectively from Upwork? 20% fee below first 10k of invoices to a particular client.?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

@@alno1 I will have to do that. It would be months down the line sadly

[@SeattleDataGuy]

@@Stoney-g1o Currently, a combination of referrals, company partnerships, and inbound from content.

[@compton8301]

Thank you for the encouragement man.

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Yeah! you starting a consulting company?

[@compton8301]

@@SeattleDataGuy Eventually. For now, I'm just learning all about data engineering as much as possible! :) I did mention before that I'm currently a software dev in the process of transitioning to DE.

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Nice! I recommend putting out content and creating networks now!

[@compton8301]

@@SeattleDataGuy Great idea. Thank you.

[@SeattleDataGuy]

@@compton8301 Yeah, I look forward to it!

[@dataArtists]

Great advice and highly encouraged by it. 👍 Looks like you're past the 10k mark 👍 on to 20k!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it! Yes let's do it! Have any ideas where I can share this content? The hardest part is getting traction

[@dataArtists]

@@SeattleDataGuy A couple places perhaps like Daily Motion and Nebula Streaming have related content. Perhaps time to branch out to do a 1 hour or so Udemy course (there are lots of 'em) perhaps you could team up with Luke Barousse to do a complete series from raw data to finished dashboard. I would buy that course!

[@aleksabisercic1410]

Appreciate you sharing this !

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Thank you for the comment!

[@alexspiridon1017]

I've been looking forward to this ^.^

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Thank you! And thank you for the comment. Got to feed YT algorithm.

[@mummz3371]

Great video Sir. Commenting for the algorithm ❤

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Thank you! Its all about that algorithm #dataengineering

@@SeattleDataGuy I am a DBA and my Data Engineer career is just getting started with my current employer. Your videos have provided me with a lot of insight into the Data Engineeing industry. Consulting may be an option down the line, but I do want to get a lot of big data xp under my belt before then....which, if you don't mind me asking, what made you get into consulting as opposed to working for an employer?

[@anathanholland]

Thanks for another great video!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

You're too kind! thank you for the continued support!

[@onlineenglish6653]

what do you think at least how much year of experience is essential in ds or de in order to start consulting?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

That's hard to say. Personally, I think it depends on where your experience comes from. If you have been working for a solid engineering focused company then perhaps like 4-5 years.

[@dataArtists]

Thanks!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

OMG...you're too kind! Whenever I see thanks it really hits me

[@shauryajain4851]

If I had to start learning de again in 2021- topic for next video?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

I have thought about this! I also have a data engineering roadmap which is kind of similar. But that topic in general always does well.

Looks you are at 32k, off to 50k .👍
