Thanks for sharing your experience. I am kind of similar situation in the opposite direction. I started as a data analyst and in my previous role I worked on building small data pipelines (not at production scale), which I really liked. So, started exploring data engineer roles and transitioned to a data engineer role within the company (more of a ETL developer). As I am trying for data engineer roles, my resume is not being shortlisted for DE roles). Looking at your post, I feel like I might need to try for analytics engineer roles. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to explore analytics engineer roles.. thank you again for the post!
