Used to be a data engineer during the initial part of my career and was very hands on with SQL, shell scripting, etc. however, not anymore with the new technologies like cloud, Python, and other data analytics tools/technologies. Any good resources/bootcamps to revamp my career? Started interviewing and realized my skills are outdated.

To get started I suggest DataCamp to familiarize yourself with the basics of Python/PySpark etc. Once you get past that, probably a data science capstone course on edX/coursera to demonstrate practical experience, followed by cloud data science certs such as AWS Solutions Architect & Data Analytics specialty and/or Azure Data Engineer Associate (I myself am working towards the above certs.) Having these kinds of certifications/projects isn’t a replacement for on-job experience but definitely would help to get your foot in the door for new opportunities.

Good stuff, I have done the DataCamp DE courses and the DataQuest DE path. Which mooc’s have you found interesting or helpful for DE work specifically? Trying to decide if I should do one of these or if it’s better to just forget about courses and build more projects.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth.

Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
