MUSwitching from Testing to Data Engineering felt scary when I had no real experience. My experience was growing but not in the direction I wanted.
The longer I stayed, the more testing experience I was accumulating! And that scared me!
The biggest question I had was:
HOW do you justify a switch into Data Engineering when you haven’t worked on it professionally?
What worked for me was bridging the gap by showing the work.
- I didn’t wait for my job to give me hands-on data work (I might haven’t gotten any tbh)
- I built projects that reflected what Data Engineers actually do or atleast come close to it in someway.
Those projects did two things:
* helped my resume get shortlisted with the right key words and skills added to it
* showed interviewers that I genuinely wanted to work in data. And interviewers DO APPRECIATE IT!
If you haven’t gotten hands-on exposure at work, personal projects absolutely count.
That’s how I made the switch and it worked!
If you’re in testing or a service-based role and feeling stuck, switching roles is possible.
I’ll break down what kind of projects to pick and how to position them in the next post!
