This is exactly why I found DE is not a long term career path.
I work in data, I occasionally do DE roles, but if you aren't moving over to the app side or business/domain side, you are leaving a lot of money on the table long term.
The funny thing, being in data, if you take the time to understand it.. you are tremendously valuable to the business/domain side.
Otherwise you 1000% risk becoming part of the background infra.
No one celebrates when the faucet dispenses water or the power switch works.
They do lose their collective #$#@ when the water or power fails though.
Data Engineering has a tendency to be treated that way.
DQ is a big part of it as well. Everyone wants it, no one wants to pay the hours/dollars to do it.. No one is sure what they want, but probably what you propose is too simple. Can't AI do it? Etc.
