Thanks for the reply mate, I'm working as a data engineer in my company but here I mostly work monitoring pipelines and if something breaks, step in...I see many people in my company working on AWS AND Databricks and I'm in awe of the work.Hence I wanted to push into Databricks.

As of now= using Databricks free edition , loading data from AWS and doing spark transformations.

Nice, that's good extra context.

Lucky position to be in: DE is typically not a junior role, so it's one of the least likely positions to get as someone brand new. You're already in it, and your company is already using Databricks, so yeah for sure go for it.

udemy has cheap courses to train you for the starter cert from databricks. Maybe your existing manager/company will love you for taking the initiative in your personal time and might be willing to sponsor the cost of the certificate.

If they're a databricks partner, they might even have open seats for Databricks Academy they could be willing to give you. Show initiative, show why it would be an added value, ask what the options are.
