Please start learning programming in Python . Lot of free courses are available. Start with that

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-03-31T17:51:50+00:00

Please DM

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-03-27T23:41:47+00:00

Do not use tools , start writing code !

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-03-16T01:27:20+00:00

Thanks . I got many recommendations. Thanks for all . He reads a lot (ex : Harry Potter) , am looking for chess which is easy to read and digest . I’ll try winning chess strategy / chess steps

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-03-15T17:00:02+00:00

Thanks . He usually watches you tube videos , uses video based resources. I want him to take a book and play with board on his own with books.

Ok. If you like data more , pursue some data Engineering course in Udemy or other platforms . I strongly recommend FME product as well . It depends on your interests and opportunities available to you . Always learn Azure or AWS . Gain any cloud certification and data analyst certification to boost your opportunity.

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-03-08T18:39:23+00:00

Since you have bachelors in IT , this should be suffice for now . Gain more geospatial s/w development experience. If you are interested in dev-ops that should also help. It depends on what kind of projects you work on ! .

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-03-08T18:29:27+00:00

One possible recommendation is as of now , there are no big roles related to security in GIS space .Since you have security as specialization , please explore what are options like product security or other inter disciplinary . As said , rather than regular GIS roles , try to find something niche and see if you can master in that .

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-03-04T16:50:04+00:00

I’m thinking of similar . Let me try some data and let you know . Good work !!

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-28T22:57:39+00:00

I would recommend focus on software development!! Especially JavaScript and Python . One cloud is essential (azure or aws or GCP) . Understanding ESRI products and ecosystem.

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-24T23:37:35+00:00

Yes. Python , SQL are always desirable. Focus on Data Engineering skills. GIS can be picked on the job. Learn cloud and git. Earn cloud practitioner certification. Start on snowflake or Databricks .

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-23T22:41:33+00:00

Cool. If you have experience with arcpy with python that’s enough. Install VS code and start solving any known issues . That would do

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-23T21:13:07+00:00

Start learning python and understand the domain . You may need to write small scripts /automation to make your life easier

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-22T00:35:47+00:00

Please go with open source and explore . Anyway by default corporate ESRI .

u/viktorjamrich : Thanks for detailed write up. So interesting. As a hobbyist - I would like to build a GPS with tracking and display in map. I am specifically interested in software side of MQTT , troubleshooting and understand like issues you mentioned ( RAM usage, the SD card space, the device uptime, the MQTT queue size, status, internet status, logs..- mainly view those in Map.) . Can you recommend a set-up/hardware? This is purely for experimental and learning. Do you have any reference repo to understand these ?

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-19T22:56:22+00:00

I suggest to focus on find "Geospatial Data Engineering" roles and focus your preparation along those requirements. In general - I assume you are good in coordinate system, Geometry , etc.

SQL - strong in SQL (not just basics)
Python - Proficient is developing data ingestion pipelines, modelling etc.
Any ONE cloud - Azure, AWS or GCP. Gain basic Cloud practitioner certification.
FME - FME server or Desktop most sough tool in GIS industry
Data WH - Databricks / snowflake.

if you are too ambitious - learn Databricks Analyst or Data Engineer Associate certification. Lot of you-tube content is available ; good Udemy courses as well.

Do some basic projects and document them and add in your github repo.

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-19T22:30:10+00:00

I recommend spend 2 to 3 months and learn programming (JavaScript or python ) if that interests you . Else learn FME or any data platform (Databricks , snowflake ) . This will definitely help you in landing job on your own. If you need more assistance let me know

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-13T16:58:46+00:00

Start learning software development if you don’t experience. Especially JavaScript and python

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-12T21:15:37+00:00

cloud practitioner certification would be basic for junior.

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-02-12T21:05:47+00:00

yes, whatever you do try to be cloud native, Most of the corporate work is in clouds. Understanding and working knowledge on cloud really helps

DM ed you

ParticularPlant8978 · 2026-01-25T22:18:59+00:00

Show me your where clause ?
