Hi darshil, My coding skills are not so much good and currently i am working as data engieer and i am not using any cloud platform. Could please tell me which cloud platforms is best where we have less coding for pipline,transformation and deployment . So i can start learning for that cloud platform like azure ,gcp, aws

[@Bassface793]

Start with AWS, because they have the biggest market share. Once you have mastered one, its easy to transition to other platforms cuz they are all similar.

Is there any degree required to earn money from fiverr and upwork?

[@DarshilParmar]

NO! Skills is what matters

[@nganesh325]

Is 50000$ earned by you or by your team

[@ha13151]

.

[@ckush928]

Very generic advice, nothing specific to Data Engineering which is what I expected.

[@DarshilParmar]

Path remains the same for everyone, it’s just skills that are different

[@mosomiliardaru]

so ur saying just learn a skill that pays good money even if I hate doing the work... that my friend will lead to countless hours of suffering bc u hate what ur doing and eventually burnout... pls dont listen to this guy and learn a skill that you really love doing bc the money will come to you inevitably if you keep putting in the work and are consistent and happy with your lifestyle

[@DarshilParmar]

You missed the point, most of the people spend time finding "what they love" and they never start, my suggestion is to start with whatever you know even if you hate it, get some money and confidence then you can always switch

[@rahilsiddiqui8919]

Right! Most people can't really find what they love instead try doing something and you will be exploring fields that you may or may not like on future.

[@Abioladavid01]

I totally agree with your comment. He definitely doesn't know what he is saying by submitting that people shouldn't necessarily love what they are doing all in the name of making money. He doesn't know that the people make money from what they love abs invest time to do. I strongly doubt the 50k he said he made in 6 months.

[@Abioladavid01]

I disagree with your submission that you dont have to love your work rather than to just make money. Thata completely wrong submission. If you dint love what you do, there us no way you will invest hours to acquire the skills tgat will translate to money. Having said this, i doubt if truly you made the 50,000 you want uoyr audience to believe
