Currently L5 BIE at Amazon, bored of being the sql and dashboards guy. Looking to switch to DE role and targeting meta. Good at sql, data modeling and dashboarding. Have worked with python in the past but no extensive experience and obviously no python in my current role. Where should I start to clear a DE interview at meta and become successful in the role? TC 140K
for DE anywhere else knowledge of python should be decent minimum alongside working knowledge of spark
If I'm not able to work with spark in my current role, how should I start? Any pointers?
i mean, udemy or some courses work. get a simple guided project started out
DE is actually just a type of SWE. To be successful as DE in tech companies (but Amazon, Meta, Google DE roles are different at times), one should know software engineering fundamentals, principles. Leetcode wise, medium is usually good enough. Design: data processing systems. Performance tuning of data pipelines, data systems. Analytics: SQL, Data modeling, Data Warehousing principles.
Thank you! This makes sense
Is this a troll
Why do you feel so? Everyone has to start somewhere :)
