Career Roadmap · Data Engineering

Break Into Data Engineering From a tech or non-tech start

You don't need a CS degree or a perfect resume. You need the right skills in the right order, and a project that proves you can do the work.

You don't need a CS degree or a perfect resume to move into data engineering. You need the right skills in the right order, and a project that proves you can do the work. In this live session we walk the six steps from start to hired: what data engineers actually do all day; starting from where you are, whether that is non-tech, support, testing, analyst or developer; the skills in order (SQL, Python, then pipelines and cloud); proof instead of certificates, with two projects that look like real work; a resume and LinkedIn that make the career switch read as a strength; and landing the interviews through referrals, applications and what to say. Bring your questions: live Q&A at the end. Outside India that is Sunday 18 October at 12:00 AM PT, 2:00 AM CT, 3:00 AM ET, 8:00 AM BST, 9:00 AM CEST, 11:00 AM GST, 3:00 PM SGT and 6:00 PM AEDT.
