Seeking advice for pivoting to a data engineering role. I have an undergrad degree in data analytics but limited experience using data management tools like SQL and Alteryx. What are some tangible steps I can take to develop my skills and put forth competitive applications? I’m thinking core certifications are a good place to start but I’m curious if anyone has other suggestions.
