Hi Fishes -

I’m a tech lead in consulting with 5+ years of experience, strong SQL skills, and some cloud exposure. I want to transition to a data engineering role at good tech companies like Google, Meta, or Netflix. Should I focus on certifications (GCP, Databricks, AWS) or is there a better approach? I haven’t been coding much recently, so my DSA skills are rusty. Any advice on upskilling, or resources to focus on, would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Over the last couple of months I’ve interviewed for a number of jobs and made it to second and third round interviews but never got an offer. My last interview was on Monday and I got feedback that I did not get selected because it did not seem like I was a a team player. Ive got three interviews coming up and l am wondering how I can improve my chances of getting an offer. Any ideas are welcome. I need a new job like yesterday.
