No tech background into Data Engineering
Hello everyone . I’m interested in a Data Engineering career. I’ve spent the past 8 months learning many of the common stacks listed in DE jobs, including Azure Databricks, and I was wondering if you have any advice for someone trying to get into it without tech background.
I’m already aware of the general tips like having end-to-end projects on my portfolio, practicing Leetcode(and similar websites) and networking on LinkedIn. However, I’m looking for a bit more specific things, like what kind of projects to have on my portfolio, practical networking tips, or how to present myself as a professional even though I have no tech background.
Junior roles postings are either scarce or not very junior, so my goal is to be good enough for a medium position. Any tips are welcome.
Thank you!
