I have created this video so that you don't make the same mistakes I did while choosing the certifications and also preparing for it! Hope it helps ❤ Have a question or something to talk about? Let's discuss here in the comments! Praxis Labs DE Course: bit.ly/3VYSCpf Book 1:1 mentoring sessions with me here: topmate.io/jash_radia
Hi. I am currently Placed in PwC after my Mtech, I want to be a data engineer in the future, can you please suggest me a roadmap if I don't get a data engineering team at PwC then how to move to a more data engineering type role. Will doing certifications guarantee me a job in a product based companies ?
@@debajyotiroy6843 certification can not guarantee a job. It's just a good to have. And to love to data engineering role, you can gain the required skills from my roadmap video but ultimately you need to talk to you manager about your career aspirations to move inside PwC into a more technical role and less business centric role.
What is your opinion on the databricks spark trainings? There are 2 trainings that I have my eye on: - Apache Spark Programming - Optimizing Apache Spark With this I want to optimize my code and be able to run my data pipelines as cheap as possible. Do you think this is a good idea? Thanks in advance!
Hey Jash. Nice video man. A QQ. When you said Big data speciality certification for Aws? Is it the data analytics speciality or the database specialty for Data engineer?
Hey Jash , love your videos. Currently I am working in a service based company and working in a data engineering/ devops project. I also aspire to become a data engineer and I am upscaling myself as well, plus your videos are really helping in this journey. Thanks for your efforts. And meet you soon in Google 😁!!
I must say, this video was excellent. It's one of the best 'to the point' informative videos I've found. One question: Do these certificates cater to both DevOps and Data engineers, considering that the majority are related to cloud certificates? One request: Could you please provide/refer a constructive guideline of useful resources along with sources for starting out in DevOps and Data engineering, covering the fundamentals to begin & progressing to the advanced level? I've found that you're the one who can offer precise and comprehensive information.
Hi! I was wondering if I should consider any of these certifications as a 3rd year BTech student aiming for Data Engineering roles right after graduation? (Especially considering how I can't afford any of them lol) If yes, then which one? P.S. Can you please put out some content for freshers aspiring for Data Engineering roles as well? Here's some stuff that I am pretty sure every fresher would love to see: - Roadmaps/Study Plans (6 months - 1 year timeline) - Salary Expectations (The lowest and highest it can get as a fresher locally/remotely) - What companies to target - Preparation strategies (as a fresher with limited time, what skills should I focs on the most? DSA or core DE skills like SQL, Spark, etc)
Hey, I would say wait for 4th year or later and do it then. Because most of these certificates are valid for 2-3 years so it will be useful for you in professional life even after your first job. As I said it will also be reimbursed by then. Thanks for such a detailed comment. I will create a video where I will answer all these questions, thanks! 😊
Hey Jash, Wonderful content on Certifications..i was in dilemma on what and how to get certified now i'am able to make up my mind. Thank's for sharing.
Good advice, however, I think that it is ok to get the fundamentals if you want to have supplemental well-rounded knowledge like security plus or AI-related certs. If you are doing the work then yeah get the 2nd level certs.
Hi Jash. Thanks for the Video. Very informative and keep sharing.. I have been working in Network Engineering profession from past 10+ years and I am planning to switch my domain to Data Engineering... We never had a such vast source of information 10 years before and since last one year I am learning Data Engineering concepts from internet.. I am hoping that i am on track now in terms of learning. I would like to understand what challenges i might face when i switch the domain to Data field and how i can overcome it. I know it depends on person to person. Would like to understand your perspective. Thanks!
Make sure that you do at least 2 real scale real life projects. These projects should have everything. Configurations, logging, scalability, performance everything. Don't just follow short projects that will only tell you basics. Understanding complex data problems inside out is the key to succeeding as data engineers.
I just passed the Google Cloud Associate Eng Exam and did exactly what you stated on booking the exam before starting to study and it really made me prioritize my studies before anything since I had already paid for it. Now am here looking for more information about taking the Data Engineer Exam in the next 2 months. Thanks for the tips!
Hi Jash, I'm at a crossroads now. My end goal is to probably be something like an ML Engineer, doing programming but also working with models. But it requires a lot of IT exp/advanced degrees. Until then, should I try for Data engineer roles or Data analyst roles? I can internally switch to both teams in 2-3 months. Also great video! This came at the perfect time as I have some unused GCP credits 😂
Yes. ML engineer roles usually require more experience and degrees. Data engineering and analysis is perfect place to start for them. After a year of 2, you can switch. I myself started working on ML topics after 2 years even as a DE but didn't switch to ML completely because it wasn't my interest area.
So detailed coverage on this topi 🙌. My Query:- I have been working in Oracle Erp for few year only, With good command on SQL, I want to transition to Data Engineering. Is it Possible for me and What Cloud Platform to Choose as a first time learner? Thanks.
For first time learner. I would pick either AWS of GCP. Azure is a little different in terms of authentication and services etc. These 2 are quite similar. If you want easier out of the 2, pick GCP. If you want complex but learn more services, pick AWS. But either way, you can't go wrong with any of them
Hi Jash.. Firstly, eternally grateful for the content you have been posting for the aspirants out here. My Query: I'm a recently qualified chartered accountants. I'm very eager to get into this data science field explore opportunityies for ppl like me. I have absolutely no prior knowledge abt the data science field or abt the programming language. Can you help me out with what kind of certification courses i can start by and how do i go further in it... Thanks in advance.
Thank you and for starters, focus on the skills not certificates. Once you have certain skills you can go after certificates. If you are interested in gaining DE related skills then checkout the roadmap video and what is DE video on my channel
Hello Jash.Very informative video.Kudos.Could you please also add Databricks DE certification(and reference preparation material thereof if any) link.Will be really helpful.
As someone new to the Tech sphere, I am unsure of what to do. My curiosity is in Data Analyst, DevOps, and UX...and I have some done some research... but I am wondering if it is worth it to switch careers to Tech?
Yes, any time is a good time to switch to tech but tech in general is vast. So you first will have to decide what you wanna jump into. Data roles, SRE roles, Development roles, UI roles, product roles or consulting roles. Research about them all and you might have your answer
@@JashRadia Soo far, I have looked into Data and UI roles. Doing my research and watching some videos to see if it fits me. What online free school or other websites would you suggest I work with?
Thanks for the video. Really helpful. I am trying to transition to data engineer from python sdet automation engg.have 10 yr experience as automation qa.Could you pls suggest some good hands on projects to showcase in resume. While browsing job description saw that there are different job position specific for spark , snowflake Hadoop ,databricks etc. As new transition which should one focus on and learn gradually to make transition better. BTW loved your latest data engineer handson pipeline creation video
Thank you! And for projects, pick any cloud platform and then create these things: Data sources: include multiple sources and types like database, ftp server, live source etc with formats like json, csv. Landing area: copy all these sources to something like S3 and GCS first and convert them to parquet. Standardization and DQ: perform row level standardization and DQ checks. These should be configurable completely. And generate DQ reports in the logs. Transform this data and then put it to S3 or gcs by joining group by etc spark operations. Then load them into warehouse or workbench before putting it to dashboard. Entire pipeline should be traceable and logging capable and restartable at file level. This is just example project. Will use a lot of services.
Hey Jash, I'm a rising sophomore in college and plan to become a software architect once I spend some years initially as a software developer. I came across a video on RU-vid a few days ago where they recommended Python, AWS, and Linux as a new set of languages to become a software engineer in 2022. I was wondering if these would be safe skills to go for if my ultimate goal is to become a software architect ultimately, and I plan to join a company as a software developer intern next year. And if it is so, which certifications should I take? Although I'm expected to learn Java and C++ over the next few years in college. Any suggestion is much appreciated!
Really informative video. I have been working as a data analyst for 1 year now and I have done Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate certification. I am thinking of getting some more certs, but most of the certifications on azure and aws feel like in the zone of data engineering and not data analyst. What are some relevant certifications in data analytics that I should go for? Thanks.
It's okay. Imo, you don't need multiple certifications for the data analysis role. It is less technical than DE so there are less certificates targeted towards it.
hey Jash, it was super helpful. I am planning to do cloud certification. I will either be AWS or Azure. However I've been working in Data engineering domain for more than 4 years and don't have cloud related experience. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to do cloud certification or should i land some relevant job first which becomes chicken egg problem lol.
Hi. I am currently Placed in PwC after my Mtech, I want to be a data engineer in the future, can you please suggest me a roadmap if I don't get a data engineering team at PwC then how to move to a more data engineering type role. Will doing certifications guarantee me a job in a product based companies ?
I have a roadmap video on my channel, also mentioned it in my description. Feel free to check them. And no certifications doesn't guarantee anything. It all depends on your skills in the interview. But it gives you a boost if it is relevant to your role and makes you easy to get shortlisted
I don't have an IT background (I'm an environmental engineer), yet I program in C#/python/go, have solid SQL skills, and overall great understanding of data warehousing and ETL design, struggling to get my first role in the field,.. I believe not having an IT related degree is a huge barrier,.. Thinking of passing the Azure data engineer certificate, I was wondering if it would help catching the eye of an employee, otherwise, do you have an advice for people in the same situation as mine?
There are online courses that colleges provide nowadays for about 1 year. You can take them from home but it gives you a degree in any specialization. Try to take one of them and then go for certification if you don't have any degree in IT
Hi Jash, Thank you for the video. This really helps as I was a bit intimated with so many certifications out there and this video really extracts the required info from all the various certifications and stuff -- just like Data Engineering 😆. My question is specific to AWS certifications -- I don't really see any specialty certification related to Data Engineering on AWS Certification Exams. There is Database Specialty (DBS-C01) and Data Analytics Specialty (DAS-C01). However when I search google with AWS Big Data Certification then I get link to the Big Data Specialty (BDS-C00). I am not sure why this BDS-C00 doesn't show on the main certification page. Is it deprecated ? If you know anything related to that or which exam on AWS would be best for Data engineering apart from the Solutions Architect, kindy let me know. Many thanks in advance!
Big data speciality will be deprecated. They have now replaced it with data analytics. For even if you're a DE or DA, it would remain the same. Database one will also be useful for DEs.
Hey Jash, hope you are doin good!! Thanks for the amazing content. Could you please provide more information regarding snowpro certification coz i heard the pattern got changed and it is so difficult to comple the certification. So i appreciate your time to provide more information about the certification, learning resources. Thanks in advance!!
Thank you so much! And snowflake snowpro core is a different one. Most of the exams I gave were scenario based but snowflake snowpro core had very few questions like that. This exam was heavily dependent on documentation. It has short questions that you either know if you have read and remember the documentation or you simply don't. There were less brain teasers. This was also hard for me personally so make sure you read a lot of documentation and give tests.
I have only mentioned names of certificates to do for data analysts. Since I have not personally completed them, I didn't include any links for preparation
Hi sir i have completed data science course from Coursea i have good command in python and mysql can u tell me which certificate I can choose so that it will help me in future to build up my resume
I am not working on any cloud which cloud to choose for bigdata engineer role aws big data engineer or Microsoft data engineer which has more worth in market.I have basic knowledge of spark.I have career gap of 4 years and some time to study please kindly suggest to me which certification I have choose with say 15lpa.Is aws data engineer certification involves only services so is it easy or i am a beginner in field of sql too so Microsoft data engineer involves lot on sql i guess please kindly suggest which certification with can begin my career.
You can not go wrong with either of these certificates. However AWS has larger marketshare as of now so might have more job openings, so you can pick that. But even with AWS certificate, you can apply to azure or gcp roles. SQL will not come in any certification. For that you have to study separately. Your SQL skills must be really good for DE roles.
Iam a civil engineering graduate ,passedout in 2018.iam currently working in government sector with less salary and less growth.iam currently learning web developement, Will you please suggest me any other course to switch to software industry?
I could help you with data engineering but not so much with web development. But you can definitely start by learning a programming language and DBMS first. It is used in both cases. I have given links to study them on my roadmap video mentioned in the description.
@@arunprakash5753 DA roles are usually less technical and are the best entry point for non tech folks into data world. Most companies are open to hire non tech background people for BA or DA as long as you have skills like SQL, Python(basic) and visualization.
Hi Jash 8:34 can we directly take the specialty certification without taking the associate/professional one.. Like this is possible right.. (Provided we have knowledge on that but want the specialty certification since taking basic one will be waste of money)
Hey Jash!!! Great video! I wish I came across this video a month ago before I took up a 6 months data science certification program offered by intellipaat (second type of certification as you mention in the video). I am an aspiring data scientist currently working as a quality analyst. I'll look at getting the first type of certification after I am done with this course. Hopefully my masters in economics too will help me get where I want to be. Appreciate you for taking time to respond to all the comments here. Cheers 👍
Hi Arun I was thinking of signing up with intellipaat for data analysis course, which is for 7 months. How was intellipaat for you? Do you recommend intellipaat to others? I have no experience in coding and want to start with Analysis path and then move to DE
Thank you for this great video, very helpful! Can you share your opinion on IBM Data Engineering Professional Certificate for a junior DE with one year experience? Do you think the GCP Cloud DE Professional certificate is more useful? Thank you🙏
Are the buisness intelligence analyst and data engineer overlapping and how hard is the transition of bi analyst to data engineer and if the data engineer is not that good with data structures and algorithms won't he be able to make it in the interviews of product based companies
I would say there can be 40-60% of overlap between analysts and Data engineers. The difference is coding language like python and distributed framework knowledge like spark and orchestration tool knowledge like airflow. It is very easy and common to switch between the two. And even if you can solve easy-medium coding questions, you can crack any product companies for data engineers.
Bro kindly do a video about on what kind of content can students/work experience less than 2 years post about data science in linkedin and how to use linkedin effectively Thanks
Hi Bro Following your videos from a month lots of new thing learnt from you ...I am Devops engineer and sometime I have to work a bit on Data like to set CI branch for DB changes ...I am getting interest into DATA Engineering field ..So wanted to know will my Devops engineering experiance will be added advantage in Data Engineering field or it will go invain...how should i start learning Data Engineering..will love to hear some suggestion from you..
110%. Us data engineers also have to handle many CICD pipelines not just in terms of code deployment but also in infrastructure and data deployment, your experience can make you an expert in that. I believe a lot of data engineering lack SRE skills like SWE does. You won't be one of them if you become a DE! So go for it if you are interested..
I mainly do the second type of certifications not because i want the certifications themselves but because I just want to learn the content for myself.
Hey jash, i've done a DS bootcamp and done with basic ML. I've just started studying Cloud. I am intermediate in python which cloud certification would you recommend me?
Hi Jash, Just a quick question. What basic (formal) qualifications are required before starting these certifications?? I mean .. can people from different backgrounds (other than CS/IT) do these certifications?? Thanks
For basic knowledge, just learn basics of IT/CS and learn OS concepts. Then learn a programming language. Don't focus on certificates for these skills. After you have them then you can follow this video!
That's amazing videos jash. You are very inspiring! One question if you can answer? I have prepared for gcp associate cloud engineer certificate and having free coupon to schedule the exam. But recently I have changed my company and working on AWS there. Now it's been quite a few months I haven't used GCP. So should I go ahead for giving GCP associate exam? I need to revise everything before giving it. Will it be helpfull?
Thank you and If you are not working in GCP anymore and have not for a long time then I don't think it makes sense to put in time in preparing for it. Yes you will be able to have free exam but time commitment is more expensive than money so I won't recommend it. Give this coupon to someone else who needs it 😅
Nice video loved the intro section and I must say you act so well 👏🏻 I usually book the exam after 2 weeks of starting my preparation for the certification
Thanks! I had 0 acting skills now I guess I have 2/10 😂 will see how far I can improve 😁 And yes, 2 weeks later can also work and is kind of a safe approach.
Yes. Data analyst is easiest type of role to get into from non tech background. However, there are multiple names for it in different companies like business analyst, analyst etc. So be open to any of them.
My company keeps pushing me to do certifications and I keep saying I did it on audit mode on Coursera cuz it's free but I really didn't 🙂🙂🙂 cuz I was making shet not following some guy online
Man, you look very similar to Oscar Isaac. Everytime I watch your video it reminds me of Moonknight. Keeping that aside, this is really good information. Will help shortlisting the certifications and knowledge base I will be referring to.
For someone who is a current graduate student with no experience, and is diving into this field of data engineering, should he/she should also skip the foundational course and jump to solutions associate course ?
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. I am a IBM datastage developer but I am not getting opportunities nowadays. Could you please tell me which certification will help me to land into good job as I got laid off recently.
Hey, to get a strong CV for an aspiring Data scientist will one of these certification suffice or do i have to collect multiple certificates from the ones mentioned? If yes, could you please tell me the combination of these certificates that I will have to do for a strong CV. Thank You!!!
Hello sir My name is Chandrashekhar chaudhari Currently I'm working with Vivanta Fashion as a data scientist. Sir I want to become a data scientist. Sir can you please help me how can I archived this ? Sir you are my inspiration and you always motivate me ❤️
@@khushahmed97 yes. I had gone through this link for practice exams: www.examtopics.com/exams/google/professional-data-engineer/view/1/ 70% of questions were similar or same. But there is an issue with this. A lot of answers are wrongly marked. So if you're confused, look at the discussion and vote section of the question.
Hi Jash. Really great work. I am also confused in my career. I have done btech in petroleum engineering. Work in the same field till 2020. During covid I worked into it recruitment. Now I want to completely switch my career into IT domain. Please suggest me something good plz
I would suggest start with analysis job since it is easier to get for new comers in IT field. This can be business analyst, data analyst, software analyst etc.
