I just use the pyspark documentation. If you're already proficient with python and SQL, I don't know that you need a whole separate class. Databricks offers their own training.

I would familiarize myself with distributed data computing conceptually. There some differences between Hadoop and spark that might surface in the interview.

You can get the databricks book for free from their website, go to their cert page and read what they recommend you should cover for the associate dev certificate

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage. My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…

I received a 2 year continued service agreement from my employer (government) costing $12,000 for individuals who 'leave voluntarily' within the timeframe. Will I actually have to pay for the costs of training if I don't end up liking the job? Are these enforceable? What are the parameters of 'leaving voluntarily?' Thank you!
