Data engineers out there, what does your day at job looks like, what tech stack and tools do you work on

Hey guys,

I'm a Java Backend SDE with 5 YOE and I want to switch to data engineering. I don't think software is for me, companies are expecting fullstack and I'm not good with frontend. Last 2 years, I had to switch twice and both times I got stuck in either legacy app which was complex and stressful to work on or a complex backend project where business logic was just out of this world. I think I got stuck in bad places since other people also experienced the same but this can happen anytime, so don't want this happening again in future.

I don't care about boring or repetitive work, I just want something that I can deliver, hence want to get into data engineering since there is big overlap, but I see that there are lots of tools for DE out there and no 2 data engineers do the same work, some are working on ETL, some in SQL.

So DE people in india, what tools and technologies do you guys mostly work on in your day to day tasks and did your work get easy and predictable with time.
