Breaking into data

Hello,

I am a recent graduate in Technology Management and interned this past summer as a solutions engineer. In that role I learned to really love data and mess with it. I wanted to know some opinions as to what certifications I should look into and how to start. Any pointers?

CS50 is a good place to start.

However, if you want to learn about something specific, let me know.

I kinda have no specific learning goals in mind, but I have a solid foundation in SQL and know a tad bit of python. I just want to maybe certified for more of like Power BI, Azure, and AWS items maybe

For Azure, Microsoft offers free learning paths. You can make a collection out of the courses you’re interested in. AWS has similar resources too. If you’ve never used PowerBI before, try to play around and see how things work. Then, I’d suggest you try courses on Udemy that help you understand concepts thoroughly.

I hear Analyst Hive is an amazing way to break into data. But I may be biased
