Data is an industry of sidesteppers. Most folks in the field stumble into it, look around, and if they like what they see, they’ll build a career here. This is particularly true in the analytics engineering space. Every AE I’ve talked to had envisioned themselves doing something different before finding this work in a moment of serendipity. This raises the question, how can someone become an analytics engineer intentionally? This is the question dbt Labs’ Foundry Program aims to address.
