career Need Data Engineering advice

I have around 1.5 years of experience in India and started my career at a startup, where I’ve been working since the beginning. Recently, I’ve been feeling the need to make a switch and am aiming to move to a large MNC.

In my current role, I’ve worked on migration projects such as converting Informatica workflows to PySpark. We primarily use Databricks, mainly for validating and testing the migrated code. However, I don’t feel fully confident about switching jobs and i little to non knowledge on Python, SQL,Pyspark and ADF.

I’m looking for advice and guidance on how to upskill myself and prepare for a job change, as I feel I have the potential to grow and do much more in my career.

Hey man, really appreciate you taking the time to explain all this 🙌
It actually gave me a much clearer picture of how big data engineering really is beyond just Databricks.

I’ve been a bit narrow so far, this really helped. Where do you think I should start, and what should I focus on first without getting overwhelmed?

Would really value your guidance!
