I’d suggest picking one at the start and sticking with that. Trying to learn multiple right off the bat is going to make things more difficult for yourself.

Learn one and the next one becomes easier since all the same principles apply.

I assume you mean syntax?

Google is your friend.

The best way to learn is by practicing. What helped me was taking queries from others and tweaking and enhancing them for my needs. I also liked taking things I would normally do in Excel and figure out how I would do those things with SQL. Lots of websites are available to help you learn different functions and how to use them. You can figure out how and where parentheses go by seeing where they’re used in example queries.

You could also try GPT, Gemini, copilot etc to write the code for you, and compare your syntax against the output from the code generated.

Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
