I’ve been working at my current org since Oct 2025, so it’ll be a year in a couple of months.

The problem is that I have no practical exp. I hve been on the bench the entire time, well except first 2 months of training. Not a single project. Not even a shadow resource opportunity.

The only hands on experience I’ve got is that a senior in my office helped me build an end to end Databricks project on the side, but that too with the help of co-pilot. Apart from that, I hve been learning on my own. Currently im studying Azure, planning to get DP-900 in the next few weeks. I’d say im very good with SQL, and moderate with Python and PySpark.

I hve honestly lost hope that RMG is ever going to get me a project. I personally messaged dozens of managers over the past few months. Either they don’t reply, or they say they don’t have any openings.

Im thinking of switching once I complete a year here.

But how do I even sell myself in interviews when I dont have any actual project experience? Im not asking how to lie, I mean, if they ask me what I worked on in my current company, what am I even supposed to say? I genuinely dont know shit about real project workflows because I’ve never been on one.

And is switching after just one year even a good idea in the current market? Or should I somehow survive longer and hope things improve?

Because at this point, Im pretty sure if I stay much longer, my company will eventually start pushing a rod up my ass. Either by putting me on PIP or asking me to resign.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation? What did you do, and were you able to switch successfully?

Hi everyone,

I’m a fresher and I’ve been on the bench for 6 months now. At this point, my ass hurts more than my ego.

I’ve spent the time learning SQL, Python, PySpark, Databricks, Azure, ETL, and Data Warehousing concepts, but opportunities seem rarer than a production deployment without issues.

If anyone knows of openings, referrals, or teams looking for a fresher in Data Engineering, I’d genuinely appreciate the help.

Before I become a permanent part of the office furniture.

TIA

Guys, lowkey soch raha hu dinosaurs ko wapas le aau by extracting blood from Cretaceous era mosquitoes trapped in amber. 🫣

Bas kuch small problems hain, 66 million years ki extinction reverse karni hai aur poora genome rebuild karna hai. But confidence toh full hai.

Waise jab T-Rex production mein aa jayega, dinosaur meat try karoge?

🍛 T-Rex Biryani
🔥 Spinosaurus Kebabs

I mean, chicken bhi toh technically dinosaur hi hai… ye bas premium version hoga.

I accidentally exited the community and the society office is not helping. I used to get society announcements from that group. Someone plz help me or share the community link if possible. I found the link through nobroker hood earlier but it is not available there anymore. 🥲🥲
