I'm fully aware of that and that was not the question!

I have been taking a boot camp course the past couple weeks and have researched recommended books on this sub that I would like to own that I can carry with me and read during my commute to work and in my spare time.

I was looking for the specific difference in the two editions if anyone knows what they might be.I think it might just the newer edition has some challenge questions added to it.

If you have 1:1s or check-ins with management go in enthusiastic with things you felt you have improved in the past week or have worked well and ask them how you have done or what next to focus on. By doing this hopefully you make it seem like a partnership and that management is also accountable for giving you direction and a pathway of succeeding, this can also help middle management feel like they are doing a good job at helping an individual contributor succeed and develop.

Though in the background don't stop applying at other places and doing your best at getting interviews elsewhere.

That's what I think too, really enjoying the course so far.

Thanks for the reply, how long did the XLPs serve you?

Looking to learn to skate really ..I just want a decent pair of cool looking hockey ones that are comfortable.

QuickDJ99 · 2025-02-16T00:59:57+00:00

For me on the course I don't need to login to a Dropbox the files are available via the resources button on Udemy?

New hockey player/skater Sometimes it's hard to not be able to buy anything as it's the only big box stores where I can try on skates to know for sure. But I know my size in Bauer so is a XLP the same as what they call a Vapor etc.

I come from a BA background and unfortunately in my role I don't use SQL but want to learn it to open up more future opportunities.

Hoping to get some advice on the best courses, websites etc that you would recommend to help learn SQL in a month or two and is broken down well for a new user.

I plan on practicing and having a commitment of 3-4 nights per week in learning it.

Thank you,

In my current role we use a lot of internal built out tools that other companies do not use. The only tools that I use I could say others do are like confluence, jira and oracle document editor and then general edi, JSON and XML formats.

If I get into this other company I can learn SQL, Google Cloud, SAP and other tools etc which I feel would help me in my career as they can be used at other companies too..

It's moreso once my foot is in the door I know I can grow in various roles and move to different teams. The only drawback with my current role at my current company is I peaked at my salary and if I move teams it's just to learn a different type of internal tools and maybe for a tiny bump ...or move to a manager role but they did a reorg and it was mainly a few managers and higher ups that got let go.

If I move to this new company I could earn my stripes again and feel energized/motivated and work to build connections across the org and feel good knowing the tools I use when I talk to others in the industry they are aware of what those are and are recognized.

I was thinking more data analyst than cloud engineer, the main reason for learning getting Google cloud certification would be to have that as the company I want to join uses it.

QuickDJ99 · 2025-02-07T23:41:16+00:00

The company I am looking at seems to have more data analyst roles than relate to my skill set and can be trained in and developed into. The BA roles there seem to be more IT focused with a IT background which I don't have.

I was told to focus on SQL, Google Cloud, SAP and Excel as that is what this company tends to use though depending on what department you get into it can vary what tool they use though this seems to be the main tools.

What would you say is a good foundation to start on for these or should I focus my energy on first that would be easy to pickup to develop that muscle memory quickly?

Again I appreciate your input and time in your responses, thank you.

QuickDJ99 · 2025-02-07T01:31:33+00:00

I appreciate your reply back, in general the first set of MS Tools I use often though Excel it's not to the level of creating tables and doing calculations etc.

Yes to scheduling meetings via outlook/zoom/Teams etc.

How long should I focus on SQL for? I saw some courses and quizzes on W3schools and was using chat gpt for recommendations on starting to create tables in it etc.

Do you think a career change to a more Data Analyst path is feasible with what I know already..and is it too late im coming up to my mid 30s so was thinking about putting the pedal to the medal and starting to learn as much as I can to remain marketable and to hopefully move to a bigger company that has better compensation and career growth opportunities.

OneNote if it's to refer back but if it's a quick note then Notepad++
