SQL vs Python — The Real Data Engineer Combo You Need | Bonus Tip to crack

If you’re starting your Data Engineering journey, everyone tells you — “Learn SQL and learn Python.”

But few explain why both are essential or when to use each.

💡 Course Mentioned in the Video:

Today, I have an Educative Review for you. I'll provide a concise overview of the platform, highlighting its key features, pros, and cons, including pricing, along with my personal feedback. Finally, we will find out whether Educative is worth it?

In this video, I’ll break down:
✅ Why SQL is the backbone of data transformation
✅ Why Python is the glue that connects systems
✅ How both power real-world data pipelines
✅ And how mastering them opens doors to bigger roles like Data Architect & Platform Engineer
The platform that I used to ace my interview practices and Data Engineering learning.

Once you understand these two, every other tool — Airflow, Snowflake, Spark, Kafka — starts to make sense.

How to prep for a tech interview if you only have a week! There aren’t so many interviews going around these days, we gotta make it count when we get them.
