Hi!

I’ve passed the GCP Professional Data Engineer certification exam with nearly 60 days of preparation while working full-time as a data engineer. I was able to crack this exam in a single sitting. As a data engineer who wants to upgrade their skills in google cloud, I would recommend following this exam syllabus. With the growth of cloud computing, companies have been migrating their on-premises infrastructure to the cloud which offers scalability, unlimited data storage, failover recovery, and so on ..!
