Andreas Kretz outlines a structured approach to becoming a data engineer using his data engineering cookbook.

I get asked a lot how to become a data engineer. No, its not doing courses or certifications. In this video I show you how you can use my data engineering cookbook. It allows you to identify the tools and knowledge you need. The goal here is to focus not try to learn everything. I also answered many questions from the live audience and that you have sent me in previous posts on LinkedIn Some time after I made this video I decided to start offering a data engineering coaching program. ►Learn Data Engineering with my Data Engineering Academy: learndataengineering.com ►LEARN MORE ABOUT DATA ENGINEERING: -Check out my free 100+ page data engineering cookbook on GitHub: github.com/andkret/Cookbook ►PLEASE SUPPORT WHAT YOU LIKE: Just use this link whenever you buy something from Amazon: amazon.com/shop/plumbersofdatascience (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases from Amazon) This is free of charge for you but super helpful for supporting this channel.
