Exclusive deals and extras for Data Gibberish subscribers
Most mid-level data engineers waste their first three months at a new job.
They show up, ship fast, unblock everyone, get on the rota, and become the reliable one inside a month. Eighteen months later they leave, frustrated, convinced the company didn't value them.
That engineer is the one this kit was built for.
The First 90 Days Field Kit is a working artefact, not a guide. Fifty pages of templates, audits, question libraries, weekly review prompts, and a worked example of an engineer using the kit through a real onboarding cycle.
By the third role, the kit becomes a practice.
Paid plan required
Most data engineers wait until November to think about a raise.
By then the budget is set. Your manager has already formed an opinion. You are reacting to a decision that was made months ago.
This playbook is designed to be started 90 days before your review, so by the time the conversation happens, it has already been won.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You can build the pipeline, architect the system, fix the production incident at 2am.
But when it's time to ask for more money, you go quiet.
You assume good work speaks for itself. You tell yourself you'll bring it up at the next review. The next review comes and you do it again.
This is for the data engineer or analytics lead who is technically strong, does genuinely good work, and is still getting paid like it's three years ago.
