Mike & Tommy unpack a great mailbag on the state of the industry looking for, requesting, and creating Microsoft Fabric Job Roles:

"I’ve noticed that there are only a handful of job listings requiring Microsoft Fabric on platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed. Given that it was introduced just over a year ago, this is somewhat expected. However, I’m curious to understand more about this trend.

Why do you think there are so few job listings mentioning Microsoft Fabric?

Is it due to the early stage of its adoption, or are there other factors at play?

How long do you think it will take for Microsoft Fabric to become a common requirement in data engineering roles? Looking forward to all of your insights and predictions on future of Microsoft Fabric! Appreciate it! Thanks!"
