Hi All,

I'm currently working as a data analyst, and I have good experience working with Python and SQL. I have basic to intermediate level skills in both. I'm looking to transition to Data Engineering and want to update my skills, especially w.r.t. to cloud computing, ETL, DBA, etc., which I think would be useful for mid-level DE jobs.

I checked Coursera and the IBM Data Engineering course (https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/ibm-data-engineer) looked good to me. Before I apply for that, just wanted to check on forums if there are any better learning paths available, considering that I do have a background in Data Analytics. Please let me know if this one seems good enough.

That was the first thing. Coming to the next part, as I mentioned, I am currently in a job, so have to use the office-provided laptop. I can't really quit at the moment so it's my compulsion to use this laptop, on which admin access is restricted. And as far as I can understand, setting up the environment for DE projects, will require multiple scenarios where I would need admin access. Is there a way around that? Like can DE projects be done on a web-based interface somehow (like Google colab, as an alternative for local Jupyter notebooks)? Please guide me on this.

Note: I do have Anaconda Navigator, and SSMS installed (for Python and SQL purposes). If there's a way to work with that, do let me know!

Thanks in advance!
