Trending @Accenture; Data engineer vs Devops engineer

DevOps is easier to move in to compared to Data Engineering, as for which one is better in terms of market, I'd say they're both in extreme demand and so either would be a good option. But just as someone pointed above, sometimes DevOps is just operations and no dev so that's a minus I guess.

Both are good.
Both have similar work processes like creating pipelines, automation and others. Data engineers mainly resolve around data and databases. While devops mainly revolve around deployment on servers, automation, monitoring and its configuration.

But be aware some projects have a devops role, but you never work on the development side, just an operation which will be a monotonous and boring work.

Both fields are promising. Data Engineering is data-focused, while DevOps is about software and automation. Choose based on your interest and long-term goals. Both can lead to high salaries.
