I’d say maybe 1-2 months to get pretty good. I did the mode analytics tutorial as a prereq for my role. After about a month I could do almost everything and then the next month was optimizing queries and doing more complex joins

You have selected the best data certificates, just try to understand the content as much as you can, the most important thing is applying what you learn (by doing practical tasks), best wishes.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
