- Stage 2 — Core skills — Data pipelines, ETL, big data tools, cloud.
- Stage 3 — Job-ready — Portfolio, resume, interview prep.
- BBA experience ko kaise use karein — resume me highlight.
- Interview Q&A — questions jo aayenge.
- Test yourself — quiz to check readiness.
SECTION 01Stage 1 — Foundation (Python + SQL + Data Fundamentals)
Pehle 3-4 months me Python, SQL, aur data fundamentals master karein:
- Python: Variables, loops, functions, libraries (NumPy, Pandas) — core Python for data engineering.
- SQL: SELECT, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, window functions, subqueries — essential for data engineering.
- Data Fundamentals: Data types, data structures, file formats (CSV, JSON, Parquet), data storage.
- Linux/Bash: Basic commands, shell scripting, file permissions, process management.
SECTION 02Stage 2 — Core skills (Data Pipelines + ETL + Big Data + Cloud)
Next 5-7 months me data pipelines, ETL, big data tools, aur cloud seekhein:
- Data Pipelines: ETL vs ELT, data pipeline architecture, orchestration tools (Airflow).
- ETL Tools: Apache Spark, PySpark, Kafka, data ingestion, transformation.
- Big Data: Hadoop ecosystem, HDFS, Hive, HBase, data warehousing.
- Cloud: AWS (S3, Redshift, EMR), Azure, GCP — cloud data engineering.
SECTION 03Stage 3 — Job-ready (Portfolio + Resume + Interview)
Last 2-3 months me job-ready banne ke liye yeh karein:
- Portfolio: GitHub, personal website — 3-5 data engineering projects showcase karein.
- Resume: BBA degree + data engineering skills + projects — rebuild resume for data engineering roles.
- Interview prep: Python, SQL, data pipelines, ETL, case studies, behavioral questions.
- Apply: Data Engineer, ETL Developer, Big Data Engineer, Cloud Data Engineer roles apply karein.
