RF Engineer’s future

I have been working in telecom field for almost 7+ years. Currently RF Eng 3 at Verizon wireless and I don’t see any career growth for long run as well as base pay sucks. I would like to see what are possible career change for a person with telecom background can pursue in IT. Data engineering roles with python/AWS certifications? Appreciated some feedback on it. Thanks! Just signed up on blind. #Base pay 95k #telecom #aws #Python

I have the same experience with the salary. I transitioned to a solution architect position in AWS and increased salary 40% after an internship making the same amount of money as an RF engineer. I will suggest you to learn about AWS and look for solution architect position in the telecom domain. I tried with data engineer positions but they want experience with production. You can try with data analyst positions but they don't have the best salaries.

Yes. If you are interested and you feel that you can make the transition you can check to the Tech-u program. https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/AWS-techu Is a remote training for different roles in AWS, I know other FAANG companies have similar roles.
