It’d be beneficial for me to know some basic SQL for when I need to run simple queries. And I need to understand RDBMS as well

Cloudguru to study the specific cloud db you're using. Also review the related documentation, and have it bookmarked. Learn sql on datacamp.

Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

So pretty much you work In consulting, get paid half of what fang people make and In many cases work IB hours to meet clients continually changing demands . All the while the consulting project is built on a half thought out rushed tech stack/architecture? Meanwhile tech companies expose their employees to best in bread tech stacks? I really don’t understand why anyone in the field would work as a consultant doing data work? The only + is in consulting there are lots of low hangin fruit 🍎.
