That sounds amazing! Congratulations

Do you still want to be a data engineer? I wouldn’t let HR “requirements” stop me. There must be a way. 5+ year DEs once had 0 experience

It's not off the books, although I can understand stringent HR requirements for the role. We had the same requirements when recruiting :P, although we needed someone to be able to hit the ground running. I guess the same goes for most companies.
