Who do you want to be?

There’s usually a gap between who we are now and who we want to become in the future. It can take an awful lot of time and effort to bridge that gap. If the desire is there, I’d say work away at it. Be persistent. Learn from mistakes along the way. Importantly, remember to have fun and stay healthy because that’s key to sticking to our goals.

I want to be the best data engineer that I can be, and I’m leaving my senior data analyst job of over two years to do just that. Whatever you all decide to do, and whoever you all want to become, I recommend putting in that extra effort to invest in yourselves. Live a life that you can be proud of.
