SQL and python self learning projects /u/LolaTulu Python Education

From my recent personal experience job hunting the UK and fully remote market, it seems I cannot escape hiring manager’s needs for SQL and/or python.

I have Tableau, Alteryx and Google Apps Script skills. My SQL skills is currently limited to the QUERY() function in Google Sheets. My previous and current work experience never needed me to use SQL as I always ended up being parked into data viz focused tasks. I have asked for more SQL/python projects but they keep pushing the goal post.

I want to upskill to be more employable. I struggle with learning on my own without real life projects at work, but I need to buckle up and do it now.

Does anyone have good recommendations on how I can upskill on SQL and/or python, and what I can do that I can talk about with prospective hiring managers?

Thanks in advance!
