🧭 1x Mentorship & Guidance Call (45 min, 1:1) — your personalized study plan, and a place to unblock whatever's stuck early

𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 — 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗗𝗢 𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞:

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝟭 (𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝟭–𝟰) — 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

→ Week 1: Kick off with your 1:1 mentorship call — set your study plan and priorities

→ Weeks 1–4: Work through the first half of the 8-Week Prep Guide (SQL, Data Modeling, Spark & Databricks fundamentals) using the Prep Kit

→ Weeks 2 & 4: First 2 hands-on practice sessions — apply what you've just learned to real problems with me

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝟮 (𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝟱–𝟴) — 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸

→ Weeks 5–8: Finish the Prep Guide — Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric, dbt, Kafka & Geospatial, plus the full interview question banks

→ Weeks 6 & 8: Hands-on practice sessions 3 & 4, focused on ADF and Fabric problems

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝟯 (𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝟵–𝟭𝟮) — 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻 & 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹

→ Weeks 9–12: Hands-on practice sessions 5 through 8 — harder, scenario-based problems across the full stack

→ Ongoing: Daily practice inside the interactive Prep Kit platform, focused on whatever you're marking as weak in your tracker

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝟰 (𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝟭𝟯–𝟭𝟲) — 𝗠𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 & 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝘂𝘀𝗵

→ Weeks 13–16: Mock interview built directly on feedback from the last

→ Throughout: Start applying for real roles — actual interviews from this point on are the best feedback loop there is

𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗦:

Start with the mentorship call to set your plan. Build your foundation through the 8-week guide and the hands-on practice sessions. Then close out with the mock interviews as you get close to the real thing — spaced out so each one builds on feedback from the last.

Best for people who are serious about switching into or getting back into Data Engineering and want real accountability over months, not just a document dump — especially if you've been rejected before and need actual practice, not more reading.
