#Data Engineers

You DO NOT need to learn everything to become a Data Engineer. People often prepare for mid-level roles while applying for entry-level roles. Here’s what actually mattered for me in the beginning when switching from testing to a data engineer role. 1. SQL(non-negotiable): You’ll need to know the basics and complexities of sql along including subqueries and window functions. If you’re not strong in SQL, you won’t be able to move forward in interviews. 2. Python concepts basics like lists, dictionaries, sets and basic problem solving. You can solve questions in other languages too but I’d suggest Python as it’s easy to learn. You don’t need hardcore DSA for most entry-level Data Engineering roles, but DSA is definitely important. 3. Data warehousing concepts like facts vs dimension, star vs snowflake schema, SCD Type 1,2 etc. Understanding concepts and what data warehousing is and why it’s there mattered more than tools. 4. ETL and data pipeline understanding. How data is extracted, transformed, loaded is the CORE of Data Engineering. You don’t need spark understanding in the beginning, just the understanding of how data flows in and out. 5. System design basics, not like design twitter/uber. Simple understanding of how data moves end to end and overall understanding of data eco-systems. No deep design is expected at entry-level. 6. Pick any one cloud. Don’t chase all clouds, just any one cloud and cover its basics because you’d most likely be working on some cloud in your work. I moved from Testing to Data Engineering by focusing on these basics, instead of trying to learn every other tool out there, and it is still the very core of Data Engineering which one must know to crack interviews. Save this if you’re planning to make a switch into Data Engineering. . . . . .

Data Engineers work tirelessly behind the scenes to build the infrastructure for data projects. However, their efforts often remain invisible to business users, who focus on the end product and reward Data Scientists and Analysts with more recognition! #dataengineering #azure #pyspark #dataengineer #azuredataengineer #data #aws #gcp #azuredatabricks #dataanalyst #datascientist #datascience

Here’s a roadmap to help you go from a software engineer to a data scientist 👩‍💻 👇 If you’re tired of writing vanilla apps and want to build ML systems instead, this one’s for you. Step 1 – Learn Python and SQL (not Java, C++, or JavaScript). → Focus on pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib → For SQL: use LeetCode or StrataScratch to practice real-world queries → Don’t just write code—learn to think in data Step 2 – Build your foundation in statistics + math. → Start with Practical Statistics for Data Scientists → Learn: probability, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, distributions → Brush up on linear algebra (vectors, dot products) and calculus (gradients, chain rule) Step 3 – Learn ML the right way. → Do Andrew Ng’s ML course (Deeplearning.ai) → Master the full pipeline: cleaning → feature engineering → modeling → evaluation → Read Elements of Statistical Learning or Sutton & Barto if you want to go deeper Step 4 – Build 2–3 real, messy projects. → Don’t follow toy tutorials → Use APIs or scrape data, build full pipelines, and deploy using Streamlit or Gradio → Upload everything to GitHub with a clear README Step 5 – Become a storyteller with data. → Read Storytelling with Data by Cole Knaflic → Learn to explain your findings to non-technical teams → Practice communicating precision/recall/F1 in simple language Step 6 – Stay current. Never stop learning. → Follow PapersWithCode (it's now sun-setted, use huggingface.co/papers/trending, ArXiv Sanity, and follow ML practitioners on LinkedIn → Join communities, follow researchers, and keep shipping new experiments ------- Save this for later. Tag a friend who’s trying to make the switch.

🚀 Day 1: Noob to Pro Data Engineer 🚀 Started my journey today! 🔥 Learned about Apache Spark and how it helps solve the 3V problem (Volume, Velocity, Variety). Also compared Hadoop vs. Spark—turns out Spark is way faster! ⚡ 💡 Key Takeaways: ✅ Spark processes data in-memory, making it much faster than Hadoop. ✅ Hadoop is great for batch processing, but Spark shines in real-time analytics. ✅ Practiced SQL on LeetCode & started working on my Azure Data Engineering project.

Data Engineer vs AI Engineer. Here’s what each role does, what they earn, and how to choose. What You Actually Do: Data Engineer: Pipelines and reliability. Ingest, transform, model, validate. If data breaks, everything downstream breaks. Building data foundations that analytics, ML, and product teams rely on. AI Engineer: Models in production. RAG systems, agent evaluations. If the model is slow, wrong, or unsafe, you fix it. Building AI features like chat, search, copilot, automations that users actually touch. Languages You Use: Data Engineer: SQL all day, Python for pipelines, Scala or Java for Spark. AI Engineer: Python for model workflows, TypeScript or JavaScript for APIs, some SQL. Tech Stack: Data Engineer: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, dbt, Airflow, Kafka, Databricks, Spark, Monte Carlo. AI Engineer: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, LangGraph, Pinecone, Weaviate, Fireworks AI, Ragas, LangSmith, Weights & Biases. Salary Ranges (NYC/SF): Data Engineer: $140K-$200K base, $170K-$240K total comp AI Engineer: $160K-$230K base, $200K-$300K total comp (higher at AI-first companies with equity) Interested in data and building scalable systems? Data engineering. Like AI and want to work with models in production? AI engineering.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
