Hi , background - Masters degree in CS. Started my career as a consultant in BI using told such as informatica and SSIS ,ssrs , ended up as a ETL Lead In a non FANG company .I have 4 years of experience in BI. I am a US Resident . I am pretty driven and is always learning more by myself and implementing them at work . I have started writing python and batch scripts and has been trying to break into data engineering. I noticed lately that I am becoming more lazy in learning things such as spark and Kafka and that's something I am trying to do Can you guys tell me what keeps you motivated to learn and what would be the right career switch for me . And what salary should I ask . Apparently that's something I have no idea on. I started working on a senior role as a consultant for 30 dollars an hour in LA . Currently make 135 k a year . How do I get a job in fang , it's been a dream to work for one for atleast a year .
Data engineering is just another buzz word, focus on your typical leetcode style interviews if you want to get into faang. At the end of the day it's software engineering
