Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some honest guidance on how to position my experience for a Data Engineer role.
Here’s my background:
• ~6 years total experience in IT
• Started in support engineer (Amazon)
• Then moved to an Associate Engineer role another company where I worked closer to data
• Currently working as a associate Engineer (trying to align more with data-related work)
I’ve recently completed a Data Engineering course (covered SQL, Python, ETL, Snowflake/AWS basics, etc.), but I’m struggling with:
• How to structure my resume
• How to present my experience without misrepresenting it
• How to confidently show ~2–3 years of relevant data experience
I don’t want to fake anything, but I also don’t want my support background to hold me back if I actually have the skills now.
If anyone here has transitioned from support/networking to Data Engineering, I’d really appreciate your advice.
Also, if someone is experienced and open to reviewing or helping me restructure my resume, I’m willing to pay for your time.
Thanks in advance 🙏
