Unsure of how to upskill as a mid Data Engineer after getting laidoff /u/AyrenZ CSCQ protests reddit

Unsure of how to upskill as a mid Data Engineer after getting laidoff /u/AyrenZ CSCQ protests reddit

I worked in 2 companies in the past 4 years since i graduated and i was well versed in the inhouse products and on-prem systems. I mainly used Scala to develop data pipelines and data solutions with a few python and java projects along the way. The technologies i frequently used were Spark, Flink, Hive, Airflow, Kafka, Bash, Linux, Scala, Java. Note that i did not use any cloud technologies like AWS, GCP or Azure. Data visuallization tools such as tableau and powerBI are unfamiliar to me as well since we always had equivalent inhouse products.

Unfortunately, I got laid off a few weeks back. After taking a short break and starting to reapply, i have come to realised that my skills are nearly untransferable as most companies are looking for DEs with cloud and data visualization skills along with python and pySpark(i used scala and scala spark).

In the past few weeks i have been doing leetcode style exercises and i plan to take AWS cloud related courses to bolster up my resume as well. But i am wary that hiring managers would not accept online courses as ‘experience’ and i wouldnt fit their criteria.

How should i proceed in improving my skillsets such that i will be a valuable DE in the future?

Whats the best job board for software developer jobs? /u/MaximusDM22 CSCQ protests reddit

Whats the best job board for software developer jobs? /u/MaximusDM22 CSCQ protests reddit

Ive used indeed mostly, but Im getting tired of it. I keep seeing jobs paying 70k asking for 5+ years of experience. I rarely see anything reasonable. Starting to think the real jobs must be posted somewhere else. Ive also used LinkedIn, but the promoted spam makes it hard to find real postings. Anything better out there?

What’s the longest some of ya’ll have gone unemployed before finding work again? /u/0ddElderberry CSCQ protests reddit

I’m going into month 7 of being unemployed as a former data analyst. I’m continuing to apply but I’m worried going any longer or crossing into the 1 yr+ territory will definitely put me at a disadvantage or will make it seem as though something’s wrong with me.

My Job keeps getting in the way of my personal life /u/Narrow_Study_9411 CSCQ protests reddit

My Job keeps getting in the way of my personal life /u/Narrow_Study_9411 CSCQ protests reddit

I had a date scheduled a few months back that I had to cancel because work needed me to stay on late to troubleshoot something that broke. No one else was available and it was my oncall week so I had to do it.

Now forward to today. I have a third date arranged with a woman I have been seeing and now work is wanting me to stay late again to troubleshoot something else. I would feel like a real douche handing it off to the current oncall guy because he constantly works weekends and has little time to spend with his family.

I usually spend one night a week with friends as well and often this has been canceled because work gets in the way.

How do I just say no and get my personal time back? Due to the nature of the job, it requires a lot of after-hours and oncall work. Are all jobs like this where they require so much time outside of the usual 9-5 M-F?

I have tried to look for another job but the job market is terrible. I just wish I could quit for a year and go travel.

Anyone ever feel very lucky in their career? /u/GiantsFan2010 CSCQ protests reddit

Anyone ever feel very lucky in their career? /u/GiantsFan2010 CSCQ protests reddit

I (28M) randomly met someone at my first job that taught me and gave me the confidence to pass FAANG interviews and I was able to get into G after working there for a year. Then I was able to join a team with good opportunities and was able to get L4 within a reasonable amount of time (2 yrs). Then 1.5 yrs later, my TL left the team, and I was given that role even though I’m the youngest and one of the least experienced on the team of 8. And I got promoted again 6 months later. I just find that many things had to go right to get to this level now. Mostly the fact that I was able to join a great team. Really did not think my TC would be $450-500k in my 20s.

Are employers trying to “artificially” reduce demand for workers? /u/diwayth_fyr CSCQ protests reddit

Are employers trying to “artificially” reduce demand for workers? /u/diwayth_fyr CSCQ protests reddit

This might sound a bit conspiratorial, but I’ve heard many anecdotal cases where a large portion of staff was fired and their workload was shuffled onto the remaining employees. A tale as old as time, but I don’t think this is sustainable: unrealistic deadlines will be blown, overworked employees will burn out. Eventually those aggressive staff cuts will have to be walked back somewhat.

Is it just me sniffing copium, or is market over-correcting when it comes to downsizing?
