data-engineer-roadmap VS developer-roadmap

In DevOps tools I've worked with GitHub + Jenkins, GitLab + k8s, and I'm now primarily working in the Argo Stack. Depending on where you're at technically, you might use something different. IaC is a ust as well, maybe some config management. Generally I've found that as a Data Engineer with a lot of infra/CICD knowledge, I generally get pigeonholed into those positions on a team, so be prepared for that. I really like this roadmap for DevOps , so you can see where your tech skills are at currently, and what you may need to learn. On top of that, you'll need to learn some data tools. Airflow + dbt is hot right now, Argo is sometimes used in MLOps, Azure Data Stack (I'm not familiar with it) seems common, and probably Spark in almost all cases. You can also checkout in visualization tools probably further down the line, I generally stick to something free when learning on my own, Superset or Google Data Studio (Might be Looker Studio now? Not sure, it's been a while). Here's a roadmap for DE too. I love these roadmaps for getting started, but don't let them distract you from exploring a path more appropriate to what you want to achieve.

Anyways, sorry bit of a rant - I land somewhere in the middle. I would say take formal classes and resources when you can. If you have access to a free course a semester, that's incredible in my opinion. If I were in your shoes, I would follow a roadmap and see if there are courses that check off a box in that roadmap. So for example, you know you need to learn CS fundamentals - see if you can take a DSA class or something. Or take a class on databases. Or an OOP or databases class. I would take those classes if I had the opportunity just because I didn't when I was in college. No one course will check every box for sure.

This GitHub repo has good steps for you to learn about DE skills https://github.com/datastacktv/data-engineer-roadmap

Roadmap.sh serves as a comprehensive guide for developers planning their career paths and skill development. It offers structured roadmaps for different domains, helping developers navigate their professional journey.

This is where I post my coding progress. Currently, I'm following the Frontend Developer Roadmap at roadmap.sh. Here are the highlights of each day:

thanks , i did not know about roadmap.sh . and yea they push MAANG too much.
