Starting a new role in Operations at a BB Bank. Start in a month and the director wants me to get comfortable with SQL (suggested I take Udemy bootcamp and learn debugging issues).

Never too late OP! Good luck... my two cents~ instead of focusing on the tutorials, I'd suggest you to try out the concepts on projects!

W3 Schools is a good reference website for basic knowledge. Go through and read about the syntax and their uses. Sounds lame but it’s my go to for syntax and basic questions.

If you're just getting started, I really like the SQL course from Udacity and I'm pretty sure it's still free. After that you can find more advanced course from UDemy and whatnot

Leetcode always!

Start with w3 schools tutorials and then practice problems based on specific areas of sql like take up only data retrieval questions, data updating questions, etc

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
