    I have worked in Mainframe 16 years and recently learned Hadoop. Expecting to change to Hadoop technology asap. But when I try outside with this resume nobody called for interview. Everyone expecting more than 3 years of Hadoop experience. I learned Hadoop thinking that I will be having weightage to get a job as I have this additional qualification and which can be very rare in the present market scenario. Am expecting to get selected if any project which needs both these technologies. Any other suggestion to get myself moved to this new tech!!!

    I have 5 + years of experience in MSBI stack (SSIS and SSRS) but don’t have knowledge on java. I’m planning switch my career to Hadoop developer.
    What are the pre requisites to jump into Hadoop developer or is this good decision to change my career as a DW developer to Hadoop developer?
    Please suggest me on this.

      Hi Ravi Kumar,
      Thank you for reaching out to us.
      The current job scenario has witnessed several experienced professionals switching to Big Data/Hadoop technologies in order to advance in their careers. Since you have a solid MSBI background, it can be beneficial for you to take Edureka’s Talend for Big Data course which can help you leverage the power of HDFS, Pig and Hive using Talend for ETL and Data Warehousing without getting into the programming depth required for Hadoop. The basic prerequisite to learn this course is familiarity with Databases/SQL concepts. You can go through this link for more details: https://www.edureka.co/talend-for-big-data
      In case you wish to pursue Hadoop, you can opt for the Big Data and Hadoop course at Edureka, which has the basic prerequisite of Core Java understanding. Edureka also provides a self-based course called ‘Java essentials for Hadoop’ which will help you gain the necessary Java knowledge before joining the Hadoop sessions.

      Hi Sanjeev,

      I am also PL-SQL developer with more than 6 years of experience. However, I quit my job due to family reasons since 2 years and want to join IT and go back to work.
      So thought to build up my skill with Hadoop technology and join some institute to learn it. but not sure how far it will be helpful to me especially for experienced people in some other field like PL/SQL. I am not getting proper answer from anyone regarding my queries. I just saw your comment, so thought to check with you, if you have got any idea and if you could throw some light on it.

      Thanks,
      Lisa
