It is strange to me you get DBAs applying for data engineering roles. Especially given that DBA is a very specific title and track. The companies I have worked at typically had data engineers separated because it was a highly specialized form of software engineering.
What I mean is, I see a ton of resumes of people who have a background of "DB Guy". Perhaps they've taken a class or two for coding, or writing airflow pipelines. Or maybe they've done a project or two in something buzz worthy. But they still pretty much just know how to operate, manage, and interact with DBs in the same manner as someone from 2005. That's not a bad skillset, those people are valuable. They're just not what I need.
