10 YoE BIE primarily known as an expert in Qlik. Reporting, data modeling, and sever admin I've also built MSSQL DBs from scratch both OLAP and OLTP purposes, used SSIS to fill them Used to teach SQL beginner-intermediate workshops Recently I've started using python to do ETL pipelines between APIs and validate incoming flat file data. Learning python as I go I got AWS associate level certs and put together a fun side-project app with docker, lambda, and python, but no AWS DB experience I like the coding way more than the reporting, so I'm thinking of leaving the BIE life and go for DE Never touched hadoop, spark, kafka, airflow. Probably need to learn those and do SQL LC Midwest, staying remote. Can I get into E6 (or equivalent) FAANG as a DE or will I get downgraded unless I apply for BIE? FAANG BIE descriptions on blind seem boring, more analyst than coding. Currently I'm working 15-20h/wk. If I wanted to work 45h+, I'd just get 2 qlik jobs for >250k base TC (all base) 175
15-20h/wk is so awesome!! Do you really wanna leave that? Iām putting up 25-30h/wk and resting
I'm filling my time with learning projects. So if E6 is 200 base / 50 bonus or more, then it's totally worth putting in a full 40. But I have a pretty strict policy for my kids sake not to go over 40 with rare exceptions.
Look at job working for Qlikā¦ we are always hiring!
I would have never thought that Qlik would pay anywhere near 200k for a BIE / DE. Not a lot of info online about their salaries. Do you have any info?
My TC is 195k and Iām in a non technical role. The salaries are good, wlb amazing, culture is great. Lots of perks tbh
Hi OP! Can you list a few companies that use Qlik? I don't see many job postings that have Qlik written in it
Where are you searching? FAANG? Amazon and Google have their own competing BI platforms (Quicksight and Looker). Guessing Tableau+Alteryx is more popular here in the US for those Bay Area tech companies. Qlik Tech is way more popular in Europe. But if you simply look on indeed for āqlik sense developer/admin/architectā youāll find tons of jobs. Qlikview is their older product, a lot of the bigger (slower to adapt) companies still hiring for it. Government, banks, etcā¦
Yeah my company has Qlikview only. Does qliksense developer gets paid well in US? I thought it'll all fall under BI roles.
E6 is hard to crack but E5 ( L6 Amazon) is definitely possible
