Wait, you literally have a degree in “Data Science”? Didn’t even know that was a thing. But the two are super closely related. Data Engineering just requires more SQL, knowledge of Spark, building ETL pipelines, and working with models/data in a cloud infrastructure. I’d take a Databricks course and an AWS course, for starters.

Thanks! Do you know of any tried and true Databricks and AWS courses/learning modules? Or is the info provided on the website sufficient?

I’m on a data engineering team. If you have Python + SQL skills we’d book you and teach you the rest.

OP tbh, my Python skills aren’t expert by any means. I’m just proficient. Everything was just learned on the job as I go, same way I learned SQL, being that I wasn’t coming a technical or data (I was finance) background when I get into data. I mean I just take courses on Udemy in my spare time to try and upskill. You could prob crack into DE with only strong SQL skills, as that was my route.
