This is a bit of a hail mary but I also really enjoy the data engineer role. I came in to the role from the software engineer side when I took a job at a data first type start up. I was recently offered an opportunity at Amazon as a data engineer but while the SE reviews are good the DE reviews are not. Any experience with either Amazon or other FAANG type DE jobs?

It was a hail-Mary for me too. Turns out I am not SW Engineer material. I went DBA then EDW developer then Python developer at a startup and then Python dev at a fintech company and then SRE and then Data Engineer.
As for the SW at the big firms I do not know. I was hoping to end up at an Apple or Amazon or Google so the culture or stress being not so great is disconcerting.
