Not a DE Paradise
The work-life balance is usually pretty good, depending on where you work. The people are generally very friendly and knowledgeable.
There's definitely a difference between being a Data Engineer at Facebook and a Data Engineer at a smaller company. You don't get as much range in what you do, and you're more siloed than you likely were before. It's tough getting used to.
