Depends on the amount of data, reports, pipelines... If the company is small you might not have any of these problems. Every Mom&Pop store has some sort of data to run the business but they don't need a "data" person.
Once you have 10s of datastores + pipelines, 100s of reports and a "data lake" in the TBs you'll likely be needing specialized people.
- stuxnet79 7y agoSo far I've spent my career in small teams / startups and it's starting to become apparent that a lot of what's assumed in these titles only applies in larger corporations where resources are abundant and it makes business sense to have a specialist focused on a single aspect. Unfortunately I'm at a point where I have 'jack of all trades master of none' syndrome and it's causing me to fall in between the cracks professionally. I'd like to move to a larger company where I can develop deep expertise in a narrow topic.
