I often get asked if learning Snowflake will help your #data career. Quick obervation: Currently 721 open jobs in #LinkedIn seeking #Snowflake experience vs. 450 for #Spark related technologies(managed or DIY). This means there are close 60% more jobs for #Snowflake than the next most popular tech, so I say yes, it sure helps to learn Snowflake. Almost every customer I work with is looking for a Snowflake expert or knows someone who does.

From these stats we can easily derive that you need almost twice the FTE to achieve the same business outcome!

Of course, Spark by itself may seem a weak counterpart, but when it comes to managed Spark platform, Databricks is a game changer, even though I am one of Snowflake fans.

One of the first things I tell any of my customers when speaking about Databricks (sorry, managed spark platform) is to stop thinking about Spark or being worried by it. Simply put it to one side in all of conversations because that ‘managed platform’ is so so much more.
