Hey
Most data engineers I talk to feel stuck in the same spot.
You’re senior enough to handle everything. But you don’t always feel trusted to lead.
I lived in that strange middle ground for years.
Doing important work. Owning pipelines. Carrying risk.
But not having the influence to match it.
It’s a rough place. You feel invisible even when you know you’re carrying the load.
The thing that helped me climb out wasn’t a new stack or a certification. It was learning how to explain my work in a way leaders couldn’t ignore.
This is the work I share in the premium posts.
