My favorite group of resources to dramatically improve your job search efforts as a Data Engineer today
Hi Data Geek.
This week marks the 100th of this newsletter, and although some writers take this edition to reflect about the journey of writing their respective newsletters until this point; I will use this edition to give you the most valuable piece of content I’ve written until this date in this newsletter.
It’s called 100+ Resources to Enhance Your Job Search as a Data Engineer in 2024, and it’s completely free to you.
The Why
The whole idea of this page is to share my favorite newsletters, YouTube channels, companies tech blogs that have helped me personally to grow professionally all these years as a Data Engineer.
I wish I had this list below before in my early years of my career as a Data Engineer. So, I wanted to do the same for the upcoming professionals in this challenging field.
I will group the resources based on its type and you can go to each section if you are interested to learn more about it.
But before start all this, I just wanted to request two little favors from you:
- Subscribe to our newsletter if you are not still part of it
- Share this page with your peers, colleagues, family members, etc. You will help me a lot just doing that
P.S: If you think a resource must be added here, please send me the link to marcos@interestinggigs.com
