Akanksha Chamola. Did she really have to do this ? inframe: @akankshagkhanna

AC and GK are getting a divorce and the whole article is about that. She is thanking the editor for “a great write up?”
She says she doesn’t want to speak about GK but then literally posts this
So insensitive
Its hard to believe it’s not all for her own publicity using GK name

AWS Data Engineer guide and referral

I am currently skilling up in DE. Have 2 years experience as Data Analyst and 2 years as DE.
I have worked in a non profit as a DE so I am worried about even being considered by companies seriously when I switch
I am hoping to find someone who is already a DE and can help me prepare for interviews and also help me get a referral.
I don’t need much hand holding or constant help. I need someone to just help me get a feel or complex DE work at their org and prepare me for interviews at such orgs.
Please help me

What AWS means in DE?

When someone says they know AWS for a DE job or a job asks for AWS, what part of AWS do they mean?
I don’t understand
Should I know everything service of AWS?
Theory ? Practical ? Just what??

Used only dbt and Airflow. Worried

Hi all. In my current org ( a non profit org) the scale of data is in GB level only. But I’ve spent 3 years setting up the entire dbt and Airflow. When I look at job opportunities they all ask for Azure or Databricks or something AWS and I feel I’m never going to be prepared for all this.
I’m doubting my skills and if I will ever be able to switch.
Please I need some guidance
What should I do? What should I know inside out? Is there scope for people like me?

Recent GMAT Exam Experience. Increasing difficulty. Unfair

Dear GMAC Team,
I have taken the GMAT multiple times over the past two years, and I wanted to share some feedback about the recent versions of the exam.
The exam now feels much more dense and time-pressured than before, especially in Data Insights but also across other sections. Many questions seem to require too much reading, interpretation, and multi-step reasoning for the time provided. The issue is not just that the questions are difficult, but that the overall balance between question complexity and available time feels unfair.
Even strong test takers may understand how to solve the questions but still not have enough time to properly process them. The experience increasingly feels like managing overload rather than demonstrating reasoning ability.
I also wanted to ask whether AI or machine-learning tools are being used in question creation or exam calibration, because the style and density of recent questions feel noticeably different from earlier versions of the GMAT.
I hope this feedback is useful as you continue reviewing the exam experience.

PREFECT vs AIRFLOW Career alignment HELP

My org is considering introducing Prefect for orchestration instead of Airflow because our current scale probably doesn’t justify the operational overhead of Airflow yet.

From a data engineering career perspective, is deeply learning Prefect (DAGs, retries, dependencies, validations, observability, backfills, etc.) enough to transition smoothly later into Airflow/Azure/cloud DE stacks?

Or does not working directly with Airflow early on become a disadvantage when switching roles later?

Would love perspectives from people who’ve made that transition.
