- markus_zhang 5y agoGetting a relevant job I guess? I work in data domain so I'm thinking about working for say medical team to solve their data pipeline issues. However it requires 1) I get a deeper understanding of data engineering, which I just moved in since last job and have about one year of experience, and 2) TBF a job in such a team, which is definitely more difficult than getting one in say gaming or ads domain.
- roughly 5y agoOne thing I’d suggest is to not underestimate the value of your current skill set or your ability to contribute to this kind of work - it’s easy when you work at a tech company around a bunch of other techies and big systems to see how much more you have to learn, but odds are if you’ve been in the industry for even a couple years, you’ve got an enormous amount of experience relevant to any organization trying to wrangle computers.
- markus_zhang 5y agoThanks. I think it's a bit special about the labs. They either hire someone from inside who has a bent for big data or someone who knows everything from outside because they can't afford a whole team. So it's kinda difficult to find something that fits.
