Progression from grad to Mid in fintech/software?
Ive got 1.5 years experience as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer mainly focused on big data lakehouse platform (Current stack: Azure, Terraform, Yaml Pipelines, Linux, Python and SQL) within fintech. At the moment I am quite confident in terms of everything works within the cloud environment, how and why we do things and understand a lot of best practices, but still feel like I should be more technical advanced e.g. my python and sql isnt as good my part mainly involves terraform. My big question is I want to move to a new opportunity ideal mid-level in london, and get paid more than junior. My question is how do I do this and what should I exactly tackle for, it seems like platform, devops, and infrastructure engineering a overlapping, and I would love to be still doing this around data analytics, ml, and AI.
Anyone seniors or people that just made the jump, please can you leave some advise?
