Frequently asked questions

Data engineer vs. data analyst — which resume approach fits me?

If you build and maintain the pipelines others query, you're a data engineer — lead with infrastructure and scale, not analysis or dashboards.

Should I list Spark if I only used managed services built on it?

Yes, but be specific ("Spark via Databricks") — it's accurate and still matches ATS searches for "Spark."
