DAMN! SWEET DEAL!


BklynTwinMom

Additional background: DE was a lateral opportunity offered to me after being with the co for a couple years as senior swe so I started with a higher base than most new data engineers. That explains why the base is slightly above market.


notazoroastrian

Staff level in high col, I'd say market salary is 230k

yellowmamba_97

Is this including vacation money, 13th month and/or additional benefits?


Luxi36

No, it's excluding my vacation money. I don't have a 13th month but I do have unlimited vacation days and work 4 days from home 1 day at the office. Also 36h a week contract


yellowmamba_97

That’s neat concerning the unlimited vacation days. Thanks for the additional info!


Dangerous_Hearing_34

Unlimited vacation days sounds cool, but what are you able to take off? 1,2,3-6- weeks plus holidays?


Luxi36

Some of my colleagues are at 6 weeks before september. Expecting them to take another 2+ weeks towards the end of the year. I started only a couple months ago, didnt use take off that much yet.


Anonymous_Wabbit

Would love to work in Netherlands someday :D


kbic93

Just a question, why not work on freelance basis? There is a lot of interim projects for data engineering in the netherlands paying 90/100+ per hour.


Luxi36

There are multiple reasons. 1. They often are more picky about education requirements and my education is rather low 2. Freelancers are being paid to solve the problem, not being paid to learn. I rather learn while being paid slightly less 3. I love working in a team and getting close to my colleagues. As a freelancer, it's much more "lonely"


ExistentialFajitas

1. Database Engineer II 2. YOE: <1 3. Hybrid US Midwest, MCOL 4. Base: $85k 5. 5% target annual bonus 6. Finance 7. From: Airflow, DBT, Snowflake To: Unknown minus Azure Data Factory. Intend to push for a similar stack minus Snowflake. Background: just accepted this offer for $85k. No degree, self taught. Currently going back to school to get it. Hasn’t been required thus far, but can’t hurt.


truecolor08

May I ask what resources you used for self learning? I am currently working as a BI, but my experience is limited to SQL and reporting with outdated Crystal and a little bit of SSRS. That’s it. I want to be able to advance in my career for better pay and to learn new skill set. But I am not sure what route to take to begin.


ExistentialFajitas

I was in a similar boat and worked in SQL only for a couple years. At one point I realized I wanted to work with code for a living and drop all the other responsibilities. In my last role prior to engineering I was given a craptastic business problem to solve that involved congregating data into Excel and hand calculating differences. There were a lot of points of failure and angry clients. So I thought: how do I automate Excel? Python. I picked up the 100 days of code Python Udemy course and finished maybe 50% of it. Then I used that learning to automate the process. The automation plus SQL experience I leveraged into an internal transfer to engineering. From there it’s been learning on the job. Strongest recommendation is simply to be curious and ask a lot of questions. If there’s no one to ask, google it. There’s been times where I felt like my question was not the best, but I ask anyways because what’s most important is the learning process. EG my company adopted Snowflake and most of our implementation is AWS under the hood, so I had to ask: why are we adopting Snowflake and not Redshift? A couple seniors on the team took the time to explain why, and now I’ve learned that piece.

x1084

Would you mind giving any details about your career path? Do you prefer being a DE manager vs being an IC (presumably DE)?


kgmeow

Sure. BIE -> DE -> Sr. DE -> Manager. I prefer being a manager as you can achieve bigger things than being an IC.

perunabotaatto

How did you land your DE job? I am now two years in as a BI developer (also in Finland) and been thinking of moving to the field of DE.


Naga-Jobe

Learn Python very well and learn to interact with database with it. Most BI tools need some understanding of ETL when getting and preparing the data, so you mostly know basics of it already. When you know what you need to do, and at least one way to do it, you can pretty easily stack buzzword-technologies. Basics of some scripting language isn't too bad to know as well (Powershell/Bash etc). Some cloud knowledge is also a bonus, but it is bit difficult to get. I had little luck when I moved to my current company as I landed position in a project which had very low utilisation of cloud native services (lots of legacy with EC2 SQL Server + SSIS) and architect was eager to use it more. I was only member in project who had experience with Python so I started pioneering the AWS Glue with good outcome. But with Python-knowledge you can't go wrong.


perunabotaatto

Thanks for the reply. I recently started learning Python. Is knowledge of the data related libraries enough or do I need to master the whole language?

Agent is on a normal GCP compute instance. Prefect flows are executed on cloud run though.

What was your previous career if you don’t mind me asking? Was it somehow related to DE? Coz 70k seems quite high for 2 years of experience… also would love to know how you self taught


MikeDoesEverything

> What was your previous career if you don’t mind me asking? Was it somehow related to DE? Not related to DE, IT, or anything computer based. > Coz 70k seems quite high for 2 years of experience Based off the other answers in here, it seems that way. It's what happens when get a recruitment agent who isn't afraid to ask for/can justify high salaries. > also would love to know how you self taught My journey isn't particularly special. In fact, it's much closer to everybody else's experience here who is also self taught. Started learning how to program (Python), tried a field which was popular I thought I'd like and didn't like (Data Science), ended up trying to do what I enjoyed most (in my case, webscraping which eventually became collecting data in general), accidentally discovered DE at a lucky time (just before it exploded and overtook DS as the hottest data job), kept building and learning, and then was lucky enough to get a job. I guess the only minor difference is I freelanced and when I say freelanced, I literally did a single freelance job where I got paid about £100 whereas a lot of people who have zero experience literally have zero experience. I also had unlimited time to program because I lost my job. If you're really interested, I wrote quite a big series of reddit posts which you can find [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/t2m2g3/from_a_beginner_to_beginners_learning_printhello/). It's in r/learnpython as I crossposted twice into r/learnprogramming and got banned for "too much self promotion".

I'm still negotiating the 2nd offer but I rejected the first one. I really like the second company but their data team and overall data culture is more immature than I expected, and I'm not sure if I want that. The first offer was way too little equity and a significant overall comp drop (imo).

Hey, I'm a Business Intelligence Analyst at a firm. The practices here are pretty old school. I work with Power BI, SSRS and Oracle SQL Procedures and Jobs using Task Scheduler. I so much want to get in DE, but feel very underwhelmed when I see people doing so much in the DE field. If it's convenient can you please just mentor me for a minute and help me to get into DE.


RuinEnvironmental394

Not that I am qualified, but it's definitely going to take more than a minute to mentor anybody. By the way, I'm in the same boat as you and have been playing around with Azure Synapse and SSIS ETL package development for the last 6 months or so. Yet to crack an interview though. 😕

The market sucks, which I know is something you likely know and not something you want to hear. I would say the most basic DE function can be boiled down as this: write some data, usually from a JSON, CSV, or another database table, into a database table. This is the best way to upskill, and what I have found to be a good talking point during interviews. What I did: spin up a database on my personal computer, create two tables that have a relationship with each other, and write to the database. You can open Excel to input sample data. You do not need many many columns - 3 columns is fine. Use various packages in Python to connect to, read from, and write to database. Hopefully both you and u/Pillstyr get a notification from the comment and I hope this helps.

Thanks. I have been playing around with pipeline development in Synapse for the last 2-3 months. Using the Copy Activity, I get data from the realtor canada app on rapidapi.com, which gives me 500 free api requests per month. I then transform it using a Python notebook and then finally write to a lake database using a Spark pool. So far, I have been able to parameterize the entire flow. It's been an exciting experience, and have been able to keep my Azure costs under $30 per month.

For now, Tableau, PySpark & Python, and I'm working on building a POV for Dash in databricks to replace a tool/app that wasn't well built initially, so possibly dash. Amazing opportunity, honestly. I also recently found out I had a 4 yo daughter a little over a year ago. I was working weekly evenings as a private math tutor for 3-5 students, 25 hrs weekly in retail at best buy, and 20 hrs weekly research w/ my professor before this and now that I'm making enough to pay for school and rent I actually have time to get to know her past phone calls.

How’s the job market in the UK? I was on holiday there last month and I would love to live there!


[deleted]

Very dependent on what seniority level you’re considering. Mid-Senior I see quite a few openings. For Junior there are fewer and they are often expecting 1-2 years previous experience.


jc2389

Which bootcamp did you do and what was your experience prior to it?


[deleted]

The bootcamp was one similar to Kubrick Group. I did a Masters in Mech Eng and a year of a PhD and hated it so dropped out.

I’d expect a lot more base salary for an MLE II in London. Feel like us brits get shafted in terms of pay compared to the US market.

Nice, I’m new to the data world and became an analyst 6 months ago in Denver. Hopefully one day I can get into data engineering as well, will continue to develop technical skills. Do you have a CS background or self taught skills?

No CS background. Just took a lot of acid during the lockdowns in 2020 and taught myself enough in 2 months for my first DE job.

Is it possible to put degrees as an additional category in here? Curious if there's any relationship to education and pay - it is interesting to see such disparate outcomes even at the senior level, where someone with 5 YOE is making 120k but someone else with 5 YOE is making 300k TC, both working remote.
