[TriStateBabu]

Hello brothers/sisters of the db,

Hi bro, devops is being done now by developers ani vinnanu. Do you recommend any particular job role i.e data engineer or devops or others? Do I need to crack programming interviews to these positions?

next 10 years yes. Too much expectations. SDET is like too wide, from API automation, web driver automation, and appium automation, Jenkins pipeline setup etc. 

SDET also they expect Software Dev level coding in interview

Tricky question bro. Before I could answer, can you tell me what you want to be? or like, how your thought process works like? A Developer (Solution oriented agnostic of time limits), A Programmer (Quick Executor, doesn't care about bugs), A Tester (Skeptical Thinking). And for your your question "Is SDET a good career?"; it depends on the company's business domain you are working in. Transaction Related Domains (Retail, Insurance, Mortgage, Banking, Manufacturing) - Yes. Software Product Related Domains (Salesforce,Twitter, FB,Google,linkedIn etc etc) - No

Thank you for the suggestions above, bro. I am interested in data engineer, but this is different from being a developer , correct. It deals with working with data only. Is this a good career with decent prospects for the next 10 years, can I do any projects that I can put in resume (without faking) to attend interviews?

Data Engineering got evolved over the years bro. First thing I remember about it was writing procs in MainFrames, then came data warehousing with tools like Informatica, Ab Initio, DataStaging etc. Worked on Ab Intio for a while. After that it was using code like Talend and then BigData with python. But, over all these years, what I realized is it will forever be changing. Python enduku annanu ante, it's easy to learn and once you start writing ETL codes using python; slowly you can transform yourself into a functional programmer in python (trust me, it'd happen without you knowing it). So, nee prospect nxt 10 years aite, I would strongly suggest u learn the architecture of Big Data (Hadoop) and start writing the UDF codes using python. Another option would be learning tools like Tableau for data projection. I personally wouldn't suggest this as market get's saturated very fast for these jobs. Also, it depends on the demographic where you are seeking the job.
