It takes time. I would say a year or two minimum. But you need real experience applying SQL skills to build scripts and understand databases, data rules, etc. Understanding how to do stuff in sql is one thing, but it takes time to understand data modeling, transformations, solving business problems.

It's really not difficult. Especially now thst you can leverage AI to get functions/syntaxt. Years ago, I took a job knowing 0 SQL, it took me 4-5 months of really studying other peoples' code to get a grasp and be somewhat comfortable. That said, I was in an analytical role, not a programmer role.

AI has made coding a lot easier but if you don’t know how to properly prompt AI to figure out what you’re doing you’ll be get stuff wrong.

Hi! I just started the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. There is coursework in SQL, data visualization, spreadsheets, and data-driven decisions. Sounds like this would be a good strp for you

$0 7 day trial and then 49/mo until you complete it, and you can go at your own pace. It can take 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the time you put in.

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?
