I am a Senior Consultant as a Lead Data Engineer for “AI & Data” team of EY GDS Tech Consulting. And I am here for last 2 years with 2 consecutive SI ratings. I am eligible to talk here.
DE role is not perfect if you know what to do and where to do. If you are not familiar then life will be really stressful. A good Data Engineer also face trouble initially when he/she joins a new project (coz what and where is unknown).
If you don’t have any aspiration on this domain, please leave asap. I am not underestimating your capability but I know your life will be like hell here. Please find some other aspiration first, work hardly on it parallel (coz your team will have less expectations from you on initial days). Try to switch asap, if not team then change organisation.
Otherwise neither you will be able to grow technically, nor you will be able to manage your daily life personal problems.
