How to transition from DS to SWE

I am a technical support engineer with less than two years of experience in the industry. I am working in tier 2 support where it's not much of telecommunication but is fairly technical, tool based though and I feel the urge to switch to an SDE role as i feel my knowledge base is getting restricted to a mere tool than the technology around. How should I approach the companies and switch the domains?

Hey everyone , I am currently working in a consulting company with most work being in sql in snowflake and databricks and python. I wanna switch to sde or data engineer role. Does anyone have experience how can I switch. It seems like analyst in profile is not good. I am already trying to do DSA again. Oh yeah 1 year exp 🙃

Hi All, I have 6 YOE. Initial 2.5 years I worked as Backend developer in Python, Django, AWS and Little bit JS. After that all of my experience is in Data Engineering mostly in GCP (have few certifications as well.) Currently I am working at Walmart. Most of the work I do in Data side is adhoc and projects are also not upto the expectations lot of manual work is also there. I am not really enjoying my career as data engineer. Pay is good. I am thinking to move back to Software Engineering, 1. is it a good idea for long term? 2. What skill should I focus on if I have to move back? 3. Is it just the projects that I am working on making data engineer look less interesting to work ?

As a SWE having 5yoe in Java I find myself absolutely bored and done with this profile currently preparing to switch to Data Analytics domain and try to build my tech stack from there. I wanna ask how many of you successfully transitioned and what tips would you offer. Also query to managers who are interviewing such roles what are your expectations and suggestions. Any advice to help me is welcome

Hi all, I’ve been working with oracle for almost 2 years. It feels stagnant now. No new skills, newtech to work upon, moreover my position is Associate SDE but I’ve been with QA team since beginning. I’ve talked to manager regarding same but no fruitful outcome. I feel stuck. Im actively looking for switch but can’t figure out which skills to study or start from bcoz different companies ask gor different skillset. And my profile looks more like automation tester then SDE. Pls help !!

I'm currently working in a non tech catalog team and seeking a transition from non tech team to SDE. Will top companies consider employees who are having non tech work experience.? I'm already on my way to kick start the journey towards SDE, pls share your thoughts or suggestions on this. Also share here the list of companies which encourages this transition.

Hi, to give a little background, I started working as a data scientist in a quite well paying startup straight out of college. (CS grad from a tier-2 engineering college, NIT/IIIT) But due to having more interest in software engineering, I picked up mostly engineering work (I've mostly worked using Java, springboot, python, flask, fastAPI etc). But now after 1.5 years of experience i want to switch to swe roles, my query is, will my current role i.e. 'data scientist' be a road blocker, even if I've many engineering works to mention in my resume? And is there a way to resolve this, without switching roles internally, as the team said it takes 6-12 months to do this due to company policy, and i really don't wanna be stuck here for that amount of time anymore.

Data analyst (1.5 yoe) working mostly in query developments and power bi here. Can't hope for further growth in my current company (too much hierarchy). Currently brushing up python skills to boost up my resume. Any suggestion from experienced folks is highly appreciated.

Currently I have 1.5 yoe as a data scientist with CTC of 6 lpa. Thinking of transitioning to Data Analyst or SDE but can't figure out. I have graduated in Mechanical Engineering, so I don't have the pedigree to become a good SDE. What you all think?

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Have any of you successfully aced an interview solely through tutorials, YouTube, or side projects without hands-on work experience? I am a SDET exploring a transition to SDE role, internally tried within my company ,not happening due to various reasons, hence trying to switch over. In order to achieve that, I've worked on full-stack sidd projects, practiced DSA, and made a good "tailored" CV that gets me interview calls. But I am currently facing mixed experiences in interviews. I am able to answer a few but struggle with some questions and seek advice on how to improve. Any suggestions for this career switch are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton
