Is data engineering an entry-level?

Data Engineering can be entry-level or for those ready for a more advanced career. Generally speaking, entry-level data engineers will need a Bachelor's Degree in a relevant major and then be able to start working as a generalist. This job will entail working with a team of other Data Engineers to help a company (usually smaller) build and manage its data.

With more experience and advanced education, many Data Engineers can then go on to work for larger companies as Pipeline-Centric Engineers, or Database-Centric Engineers, which are more complex roles.
