Once you get a grip on SQL, it is easy to switch, so it kind of doesn't matter. Depending on project/client stack you'll have to switch. I have never heard someone saying "oh no, he doesn't know <that> particular flavor of SQL, he won't do".

Interview prep typically recommended to learn Postgres IMO. MySQL should be fine too I just don’t think anyone actually uses it in a business setting. MS SQL, ORACLE, and BigQuery are probably what you’ll see for real

SC2 that’s not correct! Why do you think AWS created a MYSQL version of aurora? You statement used to be corrected before companies started using the cloud. I have helped so many big firms migrate from on prem to the cloud and I can tell you that they always looking for ways to break free on the licenses cost of MS SQL and oracle.
So MySQL and postgreSQL are actually becoming very popular.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected).

What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Anyone know of an alternative to StackOverflow for asking tech questions? The community is super toxic and I'm looking for a place I can casually ask questions that might seem dumb without being hrangued for not providing an essay proof of the research I've already done. Or some sort of buddy system where I can ping a person of relevant experience those questions. It's better to poke someone's brain for a minute than to spin in circles reading docs/dead end articles sometimes.
