What people are saying about IQVIA

Need career advice for data engineer
I have been working in a life science company as an associate software developer for 3 years now. The works pretty okay, with occasional late night work. The hikes have been bare minimum, 4-7% over the last 2 years and this year I'm expecting a decent 10+ % hike. The thing is there is not much room to grow here and I'm stuck because of dependency and financial issues. My official notice is 90 days and I'm honestly afraid to drop papers without any offer and hunt for jobs, moreover nobody reached out to me till now with my notice being 90 days. Feels like I'm stuck in a loop, and my learning curve is also stagnant in the data engineering field. I complete my day to day tasks on time but the learning is like minimum. I'm not confident in my skills and I don't know where to start. Genuine advice is much appreciated, thanks !
