Projects or Certifications First? Fresh Grad Trying to Break Into DE
Hi! Having trouble getting shortlisted for Data Analytics/Jr. Data Engineering roles.
I know DE isn’t typically entry-level, so I’m also open to starting as a Data Analyst, preferably in a more technical role. Would building a solid end-to-end DE project significantly improve my chances?
I’m currently preparing for DP-900 (scheduled) and the Databricks Data Engineer Associate (got vouchers for both), but I’m wondering if I should prioritize building projects instead.
Would appreciate any advice from people already in the field!
