I recently started working as a data engineer. My first projects would be with PowerBI and SQL. I would be able to learn and work with Python, Azure, and AWS in the next 2-3 years. My employer is a large consulting firm and I would be working on projects that would last several months and we’d implement various solutions.

I’m thrilled to have my current job and I’m eager to learn. Meanwhile, I want to have a long-term focus on how I could leverage my experience.

The most obvious career development would be to start my own consulting firm after I have sufficient experience. However, I’m trying to brainstorm other ways I could leverage my experience and build a scalable business in the future. If you have had a similar experience or any ideas, I’m happy to hear from you
