I personally made the shift from data engineering to analytics engineering, rather than from being a data analyst to an analytics engineer. I needed more creative freedom and wanted to blaze my own path. With data engineering I always felt there was a stigma that things had to be done a certain way. With a new field like analytics engineering, there are no "experts". We are all trying to figure out what works and sharing that with others. I also get to create and implement my own best practices rather than following a textbook example.

The entire paragraph about why "a lot of us got into data" resonates so much with me I'm seriously considering adding it to my LinkedIn profile. This feels spot on Benn!
