Are Databricks certifications worth getting?

Test format is nearly identical to a Cloud Provider certifications.

Pros: Databricks certifications are for Apache Spark which is open source so no vendor lock in on your knowledge

Cons: Overall less demand for Apache Spark knowledge than cloud, largely because there must be an on-premise data lake or migrate to cloud prior to leveraging Apache Spark

Side note: as of now, Databricks certifications are much more data engineer and scientist focused than cloud certs IMO

Thanks for the great info. Since my goal is to have something that can support my technical knowledge for DS related functions, i think this is the cert is the one I’ll pursue.

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
