I was going through the Tier 0/1/2... list of companies to get some ideas of nice companies to apply to. I’ve noticed, aside from FB/Amazon, there are no Data Engineering roles in London at FAANG or at these other US HQ’d tech companies (Square/Stripe etc). They are dominated with marketing / sales roles instead or the SWE roles have a very specific stack that I dont have any exposure to. Even remote DE roles (Salesforce/Github etc) are US-only. I actually started off in Sales Ops and moved into Data Engineering. I am thinking of moving back solely to have a long term career and more options to actually move upwards. My only issue is Sales / Marketing is very ‘untechnical’ and I actually moved because I got bored. But maybe I should do this as a career and just take up side freelance projects to satisfy my engineering ambitions. If there are just no roles here though, and moving to the US is not an option, I am pretty much stuck unless I sell my soul to finance / HFT. :( Thoughts?
Op what did u do
