Dice's 2020 tech jobs report cites Data Engineering as the fastest growing job in 2020. Increasing by a staggering 50%, while Data Science roles only increased by 10%.

You can rest assured that the influx of data engineering will not regress anytime soon. To bolster this supposition, the International Data Group (IDG) predicts that the five year compound growth rate (CAGR) of data utilization from 2021 to 2024 will outweigh the total data creation spanning the entirety of the last thirty years. Yes, you heard that correctly, thirty years, dating back far before the origins of both FaceBook, YouTube and Amazon.

We have established that data engineering is a well-paying position, in one of the fastest-growing tech fields, with relatively low competition. What is not to love?


So let's add a few data engineering project ideas to your resume.
