    Hi powerbidev123 

     

    First off, well done. I'm getting some real use case and practical work experience whilst learning. The biggest thing for me? When looking on how to. Work in a career is the first thing is always be willing to learn new things constantly this environment is always changing and there are always new things to learn, so you cannot keep still and you just gotta keep relearning constantly.

    What I would also say. Is that the fundamentals still apply. Learning how to understand SQL build, dimension and fact tables still apply. Everything always comes back into a table format no matter what the source data is. So make sure you know and understand those concepts really well because the everything always comes back to the fundamentals.


    And in terms of what people are looking for, when? Hiring first is around the willingness to learn because everyone can learn something new. The attitude in terms of being wanting to learn from others and often just listening to what others have to say is another big plus as well as. Making sure that you can often solve really hard problems doesn't always have to be solved immediately or quickly, but you have a way of understanding what people are asking for and then going through and solving the problem. I think that could really help.
