Hey everyone! I'm Sumit. I'm a data engineer who writes content about data engineering and career growth. I help people get into data engineering and tech roles through my mentorship sessions. If you're into data engineering or tech industry, we'll get along. Nice to meet you!

Stop measuring yourself against strangers on the internet. Start measuring yourself against who you were yesterday. That's the only scoreboard that counts.

Nobody is going to build your pipeline for you. Nobody is going to write your SQL for you. Nobody is going to ship your project, debug your errors, or decide you're ready except you.

There's someone on your timeline who just landed a data engineering role in 3 months. Someone else built a killer pipeline project over the weekend. Someone posted their 30 LPA offer letter and you stared at it for way too long. Close the app.

@thedankoe The part that pisses me off is that most people already have the hour. They just burn it on scrolling, comparing themselves to strangers, and consuming nonsense. Then they complain they're not making progress. You're not out of time. You're wasting it. There's a difference.

You only need 1 hour. 1 hour of building. 1 hour of writing. 1 hour of lifting. 1 hour of studying. 1 hour of any form of bettering yourself, because it quickly compounds. 1 hour feels like nothing until you look back 365 hours later and everything's changed.

You know what annoys the fuck out of me? People who spend more time studying other people's lives than working on their own. Every day. "This guy got promoted." "That girl started a company." "This creator is growing faster than me." Who gives a fuck? Seriously. WHO GIVES A FUCKKK? Your project isn't moving because you're busy looking at theirs. Your skills aren't improving because you're busy measuring them against someone else's. Your life isn't stuck because somebody else is winning. Your life is stuck because you're sitting there watching. That's the part nobody wants to hear. You know what's funny? Half the people you're jealous of are probably too busy working to even know you exist. But somehow you know everything about them. Their followers. Their salary. Their achievements. Their updates. Their milestones. That's weird as hell. Imagine putting that much attention into your own life. IMAGINE THAT Maybe then you'd have something to talk about besides what everybody else is doing. I'm just tired of hearing grown adults explain their lack of progress by pointing at somebody who's ahead of them. Nobody fucking cares who's ahead. Do your work. Or don't. But stop acting like another person's success is the reason you're standing still.

@Rithwik_24 Send me a DM with your skills and projects. Will discuss

@sumit_codes_ What other paths would you suggest if i need to get placed as soon as possible? It would be very helpful for me..

My friend had a data engineering interview in 30 days with zero experience. Here is the exact sprint I designed for him. He got the offer.

Thank you for reading so far! If this makes any sense to you or helps you in any way, do like and comment and share this with your network!

Ship the code. Communicate the context. Make your work impossible to ignore.

The skill that got me promoted was not SQL. It was not Python. It was not any tool you will find in a job description. Here is what actually moved me up:
